3,958 Miles to The Center Of The Earth
3,958 miles left to go
What will I find?
I soon will know
My drill is made of tungsten
The strongest metal known to men.
3,858 miles left to go
My drill is shifting to and fro
While drilling to the center of the Earth
Drilling through rock, dirt, and minerals
Getting stuck at regular intervals.
3,558 miles left to go
I’ve gone farther than a stones throw
10,260 years, it is said it will take
But I am immortal
For the Lord's sake.
3,058 miles left to go
Making this journey with a crew of four men and four women alone
Making this journey to somewhere unknown
Drilling through dirt, minerals, and stone.
2,858 mile left to go
I have aged
I have grown
I have seen so many things
Well, not really, mostly dirt and bones.
2,458 miles left to go
My clothes have been ripped, torn,
And then finally I have to learn how to sew.
2,158 miles left to go
I have had to fix my robot drill
I have had to fix the computer circuit board
For it may have had an overload.
1,858 miles left to go
My crew is getting bigger
Children are being born
My crew has begun to grow.
1,358 miles left to go
We have a life of suffering
We are in a time of famine
For our food levels have been running low.
1,000 miles left to go
We have found an end to the famine
We are at peace with ourselves
We don’t have fear of dying
We hope to see the unknown.
700 miles left to go
We have a society
We have food
We have made it farther than any man
Into the Earth.
300 miles left to go
Any time now we will be on the trip home
A trip to the surface
Where some of our people have never been.
We have made it to the center of the Earth
It is time to go back to the surface
It is time to go home.
