My Martian National Anthem

[Recycled from 29 July 2004 and 4 January 2005, because it's good]

(Chorus)
Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
Work the soil and the snow
'Til we've made it fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
God bless these seeds I sow
Mars warm them from below
'Til the rain comes tumblin' down

Digging frost, crushing stone
Gonna make this world our own
Fertilize it with our bones
Put our life into the land
Mirrors shine, comets fall
Mars awakens at our call
Lots of work, but worth it all
For a planet made by hand

(Chorus)

Awful dry, awful cold
And the soil is awful old
Superoxides won't unfold
'Til you talk to them just right
But we endure, we persist
Old Mars just can't resist
Life works like an alchemist
With water, air and light

(Chorus)

//The Magic 8-Ball says, "To do something, you must first believe it is possible."\\
