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 life
Made them restless and weak
Quietly they whisper
"Let's sail back to the life we knew"
But the one who led them there was saying
"Burn the ships!
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
It landed with great joy
But the enemy was waiting
To steal kill and destroy
Quietly he whispered
"sail back to the life you know"
But the one who led us here was saying
