Izzy was the Queen of Court in fourteen ninety-two One fateful day she wondered, was this Old World old or new? Columbus said he'd find a way to riches, spice, 'n fame If Iz'd give him three good ships 'n men to sail from Spain And if they had not wondered, was their Old World old or new? Columbus just might not have sailed into a New World view The freedoms in our bles-sed land may never have been planned We'd lose our days in selfish craze; we need each other's hand! Chris, he fin'ly got the nod and went where he was sent He sailed his crews through oceans deep while hearts were discontent And then a cry of""Land ahoy!"" came from the deck one night A tiny light cut down their fright, a coastline there in sight! And if they had not wondered, was their Old World old or new? Columbus just might not have sailed into a New World view The freedoms in our bles-sed land may never have been planned We'd lose our days in selfish craze; we need each other's hand! No, their motives weren't all pure; here we voice dissent Too many lives were torn apart, a living hell event For all the lies and sullied deeds, we cry""Forgive us, please!"" Let's honor ev'ry skin and tongue! Damned be our hate disease! And if they had not wondered, was their Old World old or new? Columbus just might not have sailed into a New World view The freedoms in our bles-sed land may never have been planned We'd lose our days in selfish craze; we need each other's hand! All here today and free to pray For all the world to know the way To live at peace So strife may cease! God bless the U.S.A On this Columbus Day! Hoy todos juntos y libres para orar Ya que el camino queremos encontrar ¡para vivir en paz y sin pelear! God bless the U.S.A On this Columbus Day!
