    So I already posted the video stating that I’m not crying about a robot. (I am) But nobody seemed to notice so I’m gonna post the lyrics.

    Little Rover by The Stupendium:
    Main Engine Start
    And lift-off!
    Of the Delta Rocket with Opportunity
    A chance to explore and unlock the secrets of our neighboring planet
    There’s a speck beyond the heavens
    There’s a dot among the stars
    That men for generations said;
    To be the face of Mars
    I’ve often thought his thirst for war
    Might one day find an end
    That he might calm down a little
    If he only found a friend
    Well, it’s far too far to visit
    We’ve barely reached the moon
    But we thought we’d send a messenger
    To say we’d be there soon
    So our finest best and brightest
    Set their minds to a machine
    To venture in our stead through space
    To keep him company
    So carry on little rover
    Opportunity awaits
    Though your song may be over
    May your music never fade
    That you’ve written in the sands
    Of lands afar we’ve yet to face
    Little rover,
    We hope you found your home
    A year among the stars
    And then our hero hurtled down
    And Mars was quite surprisee
    To find the little guy around
    He showed him rocks and mountains
    And all the things between
    And the little rover wrote us
    About all the things he’d seen
    The time flew by and soon, his visit reached its final day
    But he and Mars got on so well
    That rover chose to stay
    So they went together
    For adventure they were bound
    But he kept on writing letters
    About all the things they found
    So carry on little rover
    Opportunity awaits
    Though your song may be over
    May your music never fade
    As it floats along the dust
    You conjured in the trail you blazed
    Little rover,
    We hope you found your home
    A whole year of their friendship passed
    And then a dozen more
    And letters of adventures
    Kept on piling at our door
    But tiny wheels in alien fields can only go so far
    And soon the rover’s time had come
    To rest among the stars
    We’re all rushing to be somewhere
    In this crazy human race
    How ironic that some gears and wheels
    Would go and win first place
    Your one small step turned out to be
    An odyssey in space
    So when one day we join you
    You left tire treads to trace
    So carry on little rover
    Opportunity awaits
    Though your song may be over
    May your music never fade
    As it plays among the stars
    That shine upon where you lay
    Little rover,
    We hope you found your home
    It’s time to sleep little rover
    Maybe someday you’ll awaken
    To find that we all followed you
    Along the steps you’ve taken
    So you can rest your head
    Knowing one day we’ll be saying
    “Little rover,
    You helped us find our home.”
    Little rover
    We hope you found your home
    We’re sorry
    That we couldn’t bring you home
