Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth, from an ore body, vein or (coal) seam. This term also includes the removal of soil. Materials recovered by mining include base metals, precious metals, iron, uranium, coal, diamonds, limestone, oil shale, rock salt and potash. Mining is required to obtain any material that cannot be grown through agricultural processes, or created artificially in a laboratory or factory. Mining in a wider sense comprises extraction of any non-renewable resource (e.g., petroleum, natural gas, or even water).
Mining of stone and metal has been done since pre-historic times. Modern mining processes involve prospecting for ore bodies, analysis of the profit potential of a proposed mine, extraction of the desired materials and finally reclamation of the land to prepare it for other uses once the mine is closed.
The nature of mining processes creates a potential negative impact on the environment both during the mining operations and for years after the mine is closed. This impact has led to most of the world's nations adopting regulations to moderate the negative effects of mining operations. Safety has long been a concern as well, though modern practices have improved safety in mines significantly.

when you need to find a cure
and your remedies are failing
and you'd like to say for sure
but your confidence is fading
you're about to give it up
and you know it won't get better
and you need a little love
I will promise you forever
when your burden's heavy
I will be your strength
when your well is running dry
I will be your rain
and when you need a shoulder
I will be your friend
when your spirit's drowning
I will be your island
for every sea of tears
you know they say there is a reason
but it's hard to see the good
when you're in the water freezing
the ocean rises up
and the waves crash all around you
just remember there's a place
you can leave the storm behind you
