Rock Cycle Song
By: Christy Nerdin

I used to be a volcano, igneous proud and tall.
After a million years of erosion, I’m just not myself at all.
Now I’m a bunch of layers, at the bottom of the sea.
And all the water’s weight is squishing down on me.

Thousands of years later, I’m a sedimentary rock.
All the water has dried up and I’m again on top.
Uh-oh, here comes an earthquake. I’m buried in a slide.
The pressure’s building up. Will I survive?

Now I’m metamorphic, which means I’ve been heated
and then been slowly squeezed until my thickness was depleted.
I’m very, very heavy compared to how I was.
And now I’m being melted and the reason is because.

A volcano has started forming. I’m melting in a pool
of many other types of rocks. This really isn’t cool.
Again I’m a volcano, standing tall and proud.
If anybody asks me, the rock cycle shouldn’t be allowed.
