This song is about/from the perspective of NASA's Opportunity rover, which met its fate after a dust storm on Mars in 2019.
Lyrics:
Who could say where I call home
Is it where the red dust falls right to my toes,
as I roll to and fro.
Who could say I'm alive anyway, I go here and there
make the most of all of my days, is that all it takes?
Oh I'm getting tired, my battery's low
Please say you'll come find me, bring me back home.
Haven't heard another soul in the long list check off
how many hundreds of sols
I'm riding high and low
Oh please say you'll come find me
You asked me to go
Said you can't wait to see me
When it's time to come home
Oh it's getting dark, my battery's low
Please say you'll come find me, bring me back home
Please say you'll come find me, bring me back home
