    Gene Roddenberry wrote the lyrics in order to get half the royalties from the theme composed by Alexander Courage.

    Beyond
    The rim of the star-light
    My love
    Is wand’ring in star-flight
    I know
    He’ll find in star-clustered reaches
    Love,
    Strange love a star woman teaches.
    I know
    His journey ends never
    His star trek
    Will go on forever.
    But tell him
    While he wanders his starry sea
    Remember, remember me.

    That's crazy. Supposedly Roddenberry himself never intended to actually use the lyrics and just did it to get a cowriter credit to the song and get half any royalties. The cash grab attempt drove Courage away from doing anything else with Star Trek.

    Rodenberry was a good world builder, but A good writer he was not. The lyrics really show that.

    And what's really cool is Nichelle Nichols sang the song with lyrics at a Star Trek con I attended as a boy. What a classy lady.
