[Verse 1] She came in with a silver tray Scintillator in her hand She loved that glowing atomic feel Like fire under sand She traced the map with patient eyes Checked every dusty stone Said, "I can find it if I try I won't go home alone" [Pre-Chorus] She dug where the old rails broke She asked the wind again Counted every wrong old clue Then counted them again Her hands were sore, her knees were bent Still she would not quit One more turn through that ground She felt it start to hit [Chorus] She found it, found it, uranium (Found it, found it) She found it, found it, uranium (At last, at last) She tried again and again Then she won that glow She found it, found it, uranium (There it is) [Verse 2] Back when the first three holes came up Just dirt and broken coal She laughed a little, wiped her brow And doubled down her goal She checked the seams, she checked the glass She checked the yellow dust Every miss made her hunger grow Every night rebuilt her trust [Pre-Chorus] She dug where the old rails broke She asked the wind again Counted every wrong old clue Then counted them again Her hands were sore, her knees were bent Still she would not quit One more turn through that ground She felt it start to hit [Chorus] She found it, found it, uranium (Found it, found it) She found it, found it, uranium (At last, at last) She tried again and again Then she won that glow She found it, found it, uranium (There it is) [Bridge] Not every spark arrives first try Not every road is clear But she kept her steady grin And kept her vision near When the ground gave up its secret She stood and raised her hands Like the whole dark earth said yes To the girl with the shining plans [Final Chorus] She found it, found it, uranium (Found it, found it) She found it, found it, uranium (At last, at last) She tried again and again Then she won that glow She found it, found it, uranium (There it is)
