I sail the good ship called Maria, heading for the East
A kingdom I have left behind
My soul is weathered by the memories of a new frontier
Oh Lady of the Sea, take me there.
This wooden ship can carry a peasant, I am now a king
My poverty has wealth from the Mother Wind
She carries me to shores unknown, but I am not afraid
Oh when will we find land, maybe today.
Thoughts are racing through my mind, embracing, chasing
All the dreams young sailors have are somehow, mine now
Hold on to the rail...Is there really land somewhere where
We can breathe...
We can breathe...
We can breathe...?
I sail the good ship called Maria headed for the East
A kingdom I have left behind
My soul is weathered by the memories of a new frontier
Oh when will we find land, maybe today.
