Burn The Ships |
| In the spring of 1519 a Spanish fleet set sail |
| Cortez told his sailors this mission must not fail |
| On the eastern shore of Mexico they landed with great dreams |
| But the hardships of the new world make them restless and weak |
| Quietly they whispered, «Let's sail back to the life we knew» |
| But the one who led them there was saying |
| Burn the ships, we’re here to stay |
| There’s no way we could go back |
| Now that we’ve come this far by faith |
| Burn the ships, we’ve passed the point of no return |
| Our life is here |
| So let the ships burn |
| In the spring of new beginnings a searching heart set sail |
| Looking for a new life and a love that would not fail |
| On the shores of grace and mercy we landed with great joy |
| But an enemy was waiting to steal, kill, and destroy |
| Quietly he whispers, «Go back to the life you know» |
| But the one who led us here is saying |
| BRIDGE |
| Nobody said it would be easy |
| But the one who brought us here |
| Is never gonna leave us alone |
