Lyrics
Round World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh Columbus
You become us
With your scheme, your glorious plan
And dream of a far-away land
And with your blessing
We keep pressing
Giving this present place up
For just one more America
But,
Every time I fly to the West
I arrive nonetheless
In the place that I left
In this round world
If I try to flee
And leave this city
To be free from humanity's cares
Humanity follows me there
And if I steal aboard
The boat bound for the farthest shore
I'm told crossing the ocean won't work
And the only boat left is the Earth
Every time I fly to the West
I arrive nonetheless
In the place that I left
In this round world
So Columbus
Can you tell us
That there are no more new lands afar
If we don't make it right where we are
