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 make them restless and weak Quietly they whispered, "Let's sail back to the life we knew" But the one who led them there was saying "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 and 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 we landed with great joy But an enemy was waiting to steal, kill, and destroy Quietly he whispers, "Go back to the life you know" But the one who led us here is saying "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 and burn" Nobody said it would be easy But the one who brought us here Is never gonna leave us alone Never gonna leave, never gonna leave Never gonna leave, never gonna leave Never gonna leave 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 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, so let the ships burn Let them burn, let the ships burn
