The Rock Hunters

Geology is the study of time and place

With each rock and stone in hand

We can determine the age of each landscape

Some rocks will be 5000 years old

Others maybe 3 billion years 

Inside each rock is a unique mineral

That provides mankind's greatest values

Geology is also like a mystery

Putting the pieces together to determine what happened

From the rise of a lava flow

To the formation of a mountain

Let's not for get the ancient life 

That once walked across this land

Their remains are hidden in the rocks

Awaiting their eventually discovery
