There once was a star in a galaxy
It was named the Sun and thankfully
It weaves a solar tapestry
Sends particles high and low
Soon may the solar wind come
To bring us plasma and magnetism
Filled with hydrogen and helium
And the solar wind will blow
The solar wind charts a course
Pulling lines of magnetic force
Flowing outwards from the source
Throws particles to and fro
Hyuh!
Soon may the solar wind come
To bring us plasma and magnetism
Filled with hydrogen and helium
And the solar wind will blow
The Earth spun with its iron core
While the solar wind knocks at the door
Magnetosphere screams “no more!”
Until it must let go
Once a magnetic line is freed
Buckling under the wind’s stampede
It whips back with tremendous speed
Sends particles to the poles
Soon may the solar wind come
To bring us plasma and magnetism
Filled with hydrogen and helium
And the solar wind will blow
The particles speed back here
And ricochet through the atmosphere
Exciting oxygen and nitrogen there
Making those particles glow
On and on the cycle spins
Sun and Earth are celestial kin
Dancing through the solar wind
Connected by its flow
Soon may the solar wind come
To bring us plasma and magnetism
Filled with hydrogen and helium
And the solar wind will blow
Soon may the solar wind come
To bring us plasma and magnetism
Filled with hydrogen and helium
And the solar wind will blow
