[Verse 1]\r

There once was a star in a galaxy\r

It was named the Sun and thankfully\r

It weaves a solar tapestry\r

Sends particles high and low

\r

[Chorus]\r

Soon may the solar wind come\r

To bring us plasma and magnetism\r

Filled with hydrogen and helium \r

And the solar wind will blow

\r

[Verse 2]\r

The solar wind charts a course\r

Pulling lines of magnetic force\r

Flowing outwards from the source\r

Throws particles to and fro\r

Hyuh!\r

\r

[Chorus]\r

Soon may the solar wind come\r

To bring us plasma and magnetism\r

Filled with hydrogen and helium \r

And the solar wind will blow

\r

[Verse 3]\r

The Earth spun with its iron core\r

While the solar wind knocks at the door\r

Magnetosphere screams “no more!”\r

Until it must let go

\r

[Verse 4]\r

Once a magnetic line is freed\r

Buckling under the wind’s stampede\r

It whips back with tremendous speed\r

Sends particles to the poles

\r

[Chorus]\r

Soon may the solar wind come\r

To bring us plasma and magnetism\r

Filled with hydrogen and helium \r

And the solar wind will blow

\r

[Verse 5]\r

The particles speed back here\r

And ricochet through the atmosphere\r

Exciting oxygen and nitrogen there\r

Making those particles glow

\r

[Verse 6]\r

On and on the cycle spins\r

Sun and Earth are celestial kin\r

Dancing through the solar wind\r

Connected by its flow

\r

[Chorus]\r

Soon may the solar wind come\r

To bring us plasma and magnetism\r

Filled with hydrogen and helium \r

And the solar wind will blow

\r

[Chorus]\r

Soon may the solar wind come\r

To bring us plasma and magnetism\r

Filled with hydrogen and helium \r

And the solar wind will blow", "items": [ { "id": 221130, "type": "media", "extra_data": null, "title": null, "caption": null, "instance": { "id": 378654, "url":

particles high and low\r[Chorus]\rSoon may the solar wind come\rTo bring us plasma and magnetism\rFilled with hydrogen and helium \rAnd the solar wind will blow\r[Verse 2]\rThe solar wind charts a course\rPulling lines of magnetic force\rFlowing outwards from the source\rThrows particles to and fro\rHyuh!\r\r[Chorus]\rSoon may the solar wind come\rTo bring us plasma and magnetism\rFilled with hydrogen and helium \rAnd the solar wind will blow\r[Verse 3]\rThe Earth spun with its iron core\rWhile the solar wind knocks at the door\rMagnetosphere screams “no more!”\rUntil it must let go\r[Verse 4]\rOnce a magnetic line is freed\rBuckling under the wind’s stampede\rIt whips back with tremendous speed\rSends particles to the poles \r[Chorus]\rSoon may the solar wind come\rTo bring us plasma and magnetism\rFilled with hydrogen and helium \rAnd the solar wind will blow\r[Verse 5]\rThe particles speed back here\rAnd ricochet through the atmosphere\rExciting oxygen and nitrogen there\rMaking those particles glow\r[Verse 6]\rOn and on the cycle spins\rSun and Earth are celestial kin\rDancing through the solar wind\rConnected by its flow\r[Chorus]\rSoon may the solar wind
