On the Deck of a Spanish Sailing Ship, 1492
| BILLY Lord, we take this journey to find a promised land Lord, we take this journey to find a promised land And we believe in your power We believe in your power We believe in your power But the end is close at hand…Lord, these men are hungry There just hasn’t been enough And the journey’s been so rough And Lord, these men are hurting They implore me to go back As the planks beneath them crack And I know it’s my responsibility But I’m starving, too And I hurt, I do, And I’m lost… I believe in my responsibility But I need to see if the fruits’ll be worth the cost |

| So I’m beggin’ you, Lord, you gotta Stop! Take a look At your children who believe in this promised land Have mercy, Lord! Stop their suffering and their woe Wo, wo! Stop! Shine your light On these children who have faith in your guiding hand I’m just beggin’, Lord, ’cause there’s No place else to go! I am unworthy, Lord! Lord, this ship is crowded And the men are tired and worn, But another baby’s born And Lord! This ship is broken And the sails are ripped and old But the winds are rough and cold, and I Know it’s my responsibility When I ride the sea, These men turn to me for a sign I believe in my responsibility But I can’t be sure when it’s Time for your light to shine So I’m beggin’ you, Lord, you gotta Stop! Take a look At your children who believe in this promised land Have mercy, Lord! Give a sign to let us know! Wo, wo! Stop! Shine your light On these children who have faith in your guiding hand I’m just beggin’, Lord, ’cause there’s No place else to |
