Minerals, minerals, the Earth’s building blocks
Combine one or more minerals and you can make rocks
Minerals, minerals, we find them in the ground
There’s thousands of minerals that can be found.
Chorus:
Calcite, Fluorite, Copper, Silver, Gold
Iron, diamonds, and the emerald
Pegmatite, hematite, and the silicates,
There are so many minerals, I am just amazed.
Minerals, minerals, they are not alive
They’re lifeless clumps of substances that nature does provide
Minerals, minerals, the same through and through
So Quartz is always the same from Cairo to Peru
Chorus
Verse 3 Minerals, minerals, they help us to survive
We use them to make airplanes, and forks, and spoons, and knives
Minerals, minerals, everywhere you see
In food and in medicine, that help you and me
Chorus
