Discovery

Lady love, go back to sleep, Dry the tears from your eyes, But I cannot stay with thee, Until the morning, For the dawn is breaking, And my ship is waiting for me, And I must go, But I'll be back, yes, Before this year is over; So we sailed across the sea, Till we found America, 'Round the Cape of Storms, We set our sails for home, And when the sea was roaring, And the Lord I called, To help my drowning men, I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window... And I have brought you silver, And I have brought you gold, And spices from the Indies in the hold, I've seen ships on the horizon, That I'd swear were going down, But now I know for certain, The world is round, I have seen, my eyes have seen, One day says Galileo, A man will reach the sky, And see the world completely, From outside, And gazing down from yonder, On a world of blue and green, He'll say with eyes of wonder, I have seen, I have seen, My eyes have seen, I have seen, My eyes have seen.
