My Battery Is Low And It's Getting Dark

It was only
Supposed to be
90 days
Collecting geological samples
From the red, red planet
But Opportunity
Said I got the fire in me
To go all the way
5,352 days
Let’s do it

Climbing the steepest hill ever
Opportunity
45.16 kilometers
Opportunity

The likes of this little robot
Won’t come our way again
Rolling with 2 wheels broken
Though the sand and sun and wind
As things back home went crazy
It sent a message across the stars
My battery is low
And it’s getting dark

Opportunity’s
Discovery
Led us to
Hydrothermal vents
From an ancient shallow lake
Now having done
More than anyone
Could have ever asked
In Perseverance valley
IN the endeavor crater
Oppy’s final resting place

We will always remember
Opportunity
You were just the beginning
Opportunity



What started out as a 90 mission
Became 15 years and over 5000 days
The little rover persisted
With two wheels instead of four
For the mission


Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 10+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
