Far off in the distance beneath the suns morning glow
A mark of contentment emerges from the horizon
Land is in sight
(The vessel approaches the South American shore
And time is brought to a standstill by a swelling eagerness
As the watery distance between him and salvation slowly diminishes)
A promise land lies before him
Where ocean meets land
Standing royally on a throne of hope and splendor
Glimpses of what could come flash before him
"I am home," he says
(As the vessel kisses the sand)
Land!
