Deep beneath the earth we stand,
Lie hidden treasures in the land.
Buried deep beneath the ground,
Minerals sleep without a sound.
Gold shines brightly, pure and bright,
Glittering softly in the light.
Silver carries a gentle glow,
While copper wears a reddish show.
Iron gives our buildings strength,
Steel and machines depend on its length.
Coal provides energy and flame,
Diamond sparkles with a precious name.
Limestone builds our homes with care,
Salt adds flavor to what we share.
Clay can be shaped by human hands,
Creating beauty across the lands.
From rocks and soil, from earth below,
Minerals help our world to grow.
They build our roads, our tools, our homes,
And even the devices where technology roams.
Yet these treasures are not endless things,
They cannot grow like plants in spring.
So let us mine with thoughtful care,
And protect the earth that gives us what we share.
Minerals are gifts beneath the ground,
Precious treasures waiting to be found.
From tiny grains to crystals bright,
They make our world both strong and bright
Beneath the soil, beneath the stone,
Are treasures that the earth has grown.
Gold and silver, iron too,
Minerals make our world anew.
From deep below to mountains high,
They've shaped the earth beneath the sky.
Hidden treasures, strong and bright,
Minerals make our future bright.
