VERSE 1
We're gonna send a satellite to Mercury, who was the messenger of Zeus.
To fly by Venus and to finally orbit is a five-year cruise.
We'll send 1100 kilograms of power and metal nearly 57 million miles.
With new ideas and new technology, we'll explore this Mercurian world.
Chorus
We'll send a messenger to Mercury.
It's more than half way to our star.
We'll fly through the universe and settle into orbit
and learn just what you are.
VERSE 2
Mercury we want to see just what you're made of. We've seen part of you before.
Your hot looking body and your magnetism, we want to know this and more.
Just what are you hiding at your poles and how does your gravity feel?
Our MESSENGER will send us back this data and your secrets will be revealed.
Chorus
We'll send a messenger to Mercury.
It's more than half way to our star.
We'll fly through the universe and settle into orbit
and learn just what you are.
VERSE 3
The second smallest planet in the solar system and the closest one to the Sun.
It only has one and a half days per year, this planet is an interesting one.
Our MESSENGER will send us back pictures and data to unlock all the secrets held
and the more we learn about our neighborhood, the more we learn about our selves.
Chorus
We'll send a messenger to Mercury.
It's more than half way to our star.
We'll fly through the universe and settle into orbit
and learn just what you are.
