Hi friends! I've been working on this song for a long long time, and I thought it was time to share it with you all. You can read about the Opportunity rover here: Lyrics:
I've spent my whole life not knowing
Worlds above me, and so you're going:
The best explorer that I could create.
3-2-1 and they launch the rocket
6 long months left until we'll talk. It's
Just a leap of time and space and faith.
Hey there little rover
Send the vast unknown on over
I'll be waiting oh so patiently.
And I'll look up at the stars
And I'll wonder how you are
In that land of opportunity.
Nights are cold and the days are hotter,
Still you search for signs of water,
Discoveries unfolding through my screen
And there is no feeling greater
Than when we explore a crater
Opening my eyes to worlds unseen
Hey there little rover
Send the vast unknown on over
I'll be waiting oh so patiently.
And I'll look up at the stars
And I'll know just where you are
In that land of opportunity.
Then trouble appears to stop what we planned
A dust storm to blot out the sun.
Your instrument panels all covered with sand
Our grand explorations are done.
And all I can do is to watch and to wait
As the wind and the particles blow
And hope when the dust clears that you will awake.
Hello. Hello. Hello?
When I lay me down to sleep
Each night I dream I hear a beep
Your faint "hello" from far across the sky.
Though I know this can't last forever
Us so far away together
But I just can't give up and say "Goodbye"
Hey there little rover
Send the universe on over
I've been waiting oh so patiently
And I'll look up at the stars
And I'll wonder if you are
In that land of opportunity
Oh in that land of opportunity.
