When I was a young player
My father took me to the Minecraft city
To see a Minecraft band
He said, son, when you find diamonds
Would you be the hero of Minecraft
The hecked, and the darned?
He said, will you defeat them
The creepers and all the mobs and hackers?
The plans that they have made?
Because one day I'll craft you
A pickaxe to lead you in the mineshaft
To join the block parade
When I was a young player
My father took me to the Minecraft city
To see a Minecraft band
He said, son, when you find diamonds
Would you be the hero of Minecraft
The hecked, and the darned?
Sometimes I get the feeling
Notch’s building over me
And other times I feel like I should leave
And through it all
The build and fall
The diamonds in the caves
And when you leave, we want you all to know
We'll mine on, we'll mine on
And though you've left and logged off
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
We'll mine on
And in my world I can't contain it
The note blocks won't explain it
A world that sends you gliding
From crazy Minecraft dreams
The zombies and spiders will kill us all
So mine it up
And take the ore
Let's build it big and square
Defiant to the end
We hear the call
To mine on
We'll mine on
And though you've left and logged off
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
We'll mine on
And though you've left and logged off
Your Minecraft friends will march
On and on, we carry through the caves
(Oh, oh, oh)
Disappointed skins of your friends
(Oh, oh, oh)
Take a look at me
'Cause I could not mine at all
