lyrics

We sailed at dusk from Spain
A kingdom's life to claim
With the world in the rear view
I knew what I had to do
The sea looks down I am going
To bring the crown wealth and fame
This world is round I will show you
To sail around in Thy name
A month or more at sea
The grace of God with me
We found an isle of the Indies soon to be my legacy
The sea surrounds I am sailing
We sing the sounds of Thy name
This world is round I have shown you
This world I found is my fame
And I'm not deserving
No I'm not deserving of you.
I'm a sailor not a savior not a martyr
I'm not a conqueror I'm just a sailor
And a sinner whose dream has run away from me
The sail goes down I am ailing
The king the crown slight my name
This world is round now forever
This world I found is my shame
But I'm not deserving
No I'm not deserving of you.
