We're digging and digging
Into stubborn, ancient earth;
We're discovering
Where we came from,
and how we came.

Into stubborn laws
Of nature and space
And non-nature and non-space;

Into stubborn years
Of education and training
And hopes and dreams;

And witty and well-read;
We're discovering
How to really fill up
