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

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,



Chorus:

"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

it landed with great joy.

but the enemy was waiting

to steal kill and destroy

Quietly he whispered

"go back to the life you knew"

But the one who led us here was saying



Chorus



Nobody said it would be easy

But the one who brought us here

Is never gonna leave us alone
