It is called "The Ballad of Serenity".

It is performed by Sonny Rhodes, but Joss Whedon Wrote the lyrics and composed it.

In fact, in the Extras section of the DVD's, it has Joss singing the original of it, as he wanted it performed for the show....

Is totally HOTT.

Hope it helps.

By the way, If you dont have it, and want it, I have it, and I also have a few Firefly Music Videos.

Talk at you laterz.

Simon: "It's ok.."
River: "It's not ok! You can't just dig into me, shove pointy needles in my eyes and ask me what I see!"
Simon: "All right. We won't go in. Look, no tests today."
River: "No running tests? Stupid son of a bitch, dressing me up like a gorram doll!"

For some reason I think its "Tell my ma I aint comin back" or "Tell em all I aint comin back"


I think the original poster had the words right. Kaylee often refers to space as 'The Black', I think other characters have used the term too.

I think the lyrics basically mean, ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but I’ve got a kick ass spaceship!’




The lyrics of the theme song (named "The Balled of Serenity") are the story of Mal during and now after the War.

Basically, "You can destroy my land, kill my family, drag me from my home, but you can't take the sky away, and that's enough for me."
