Mother Earth is Rocking

During Yountville's Earth & Beyond class today, they had fun singing a spin off of Queen's "We Will Rock You," entitled "Mother Earth is Rocking."

Take a look at Yountville's fifth graders singing! If you're following along with the lyrics (posted below), they're on the third verse.

Here are the lyrics:

Chorus: Mother Earth is Rocking

              Mother Earth is Rocking

Magma rises in the crust,

Turns to a rock called igneous.

Cools down slow, cools down fast.

To crystallize or look like glass.

-----Chorus-----

Sedimentary rock, the layered look.

Time and force is what it took.

To make a rock from sediment.

Water squeezed out to make mineral cement.

-----Chorus-----
Even rocks may feel pain,

When heat and pressure make ‘em change their name.

Limestone to marble, shale to slate.

Metamorphic rocks have come a long way.

-----Chorus-----
Water, soil, air and rock.

Gotta keep recycling what we’ve got.

Sun’s gonna be ‘round long enough.

Let’s work with Mother Nature, she knows her stuff.

-----Chorus-----

This song was written by one of our wonderful Naturalists, Shelley Oeverndiek.
