about
This song was inspired by Alex's Zero-G Beer Drinking scene (youtu.be/ftzEEDXOn_Q) from The Expanse (S02E10).
From Leviathan Wakes, Chapter 3:
"The old west affectation common to everyone from the Mariner Valley annoyed Holden. There hadn’t been a cowboy on Earth in a hundred years, and Mars didn’t have a blade of grass that wasn’t under a dome, or a horse that wasn’t in a zoo. Mariner Valley had been settled by East Indians, Chinese, and a small contingent of Texans. Apparently, the drawl was viral. They all had it now."
(By James SA Corey)
lyrics
Lyrics:
From the depths of the Mariner Valley
To the peak of Olympus Mons
All the hardworkin Martians
Are rising up with the dawn
Got the best of the best doin science
developin technology
and terraformin this planet of dust
Into forests and rivers and streams
Someday the oceans
will reach to the sky
Someday the tall grass
in the prairies will grow high
Someday this planet
Will be burstin with life
We'll work together
And Mars will Rise
Everyone's part of this mission
We'll keep goin after I'm gone
Though this will take generations
You know that we'll keep fightin on
You can bet when we sweat there's a purpose
we're fixin to get the job done
Everyone knows that ya don't mess with Mars
You can take it up with my plasma shotgun
Someday the oceans
will reach to the sky
Someday the tall grass
in the prairies will grow high
Someday this planet
Will be burstin with life
We'll work together
And Mars will Rise
