So high, so low, so many things to know;

You opened up my eyes and I was taken by surprise

When I saw how far we could go.

 

So vast, so deep, I can't help but weep;

Once we feared the night, but you turned on all the lights,

And we will not go back to sleep.

 

When I had no choice, you gave me reason to rejoice;

Through the years that I was bound, I found the meaning that I found

By staying focused on your voice.

 

So goodbye, old friend, your world won't be the same again;

If somehow you survive, I should like to give you five,

You sure knew how to give 'em ten.

 

Now all is chill, but things are changing still;

I can't help but laugh, this is the perfect epitaph

For you, dear Underhill.

 

So high, so low, so many things to know;

And for all the ways you dared, and for all the dreams we shared,

We will always love you so.
