[Verse 1]
Long, long ago, in a time far away,
A sailor named Columbus dreamed one day.
He looked at maps and stars so bright,
And said, “I’ll sail into the night!”
He wanted to find a brand-new way,
To reach the Indies, so they say.
He spoke to Spain and said, “Let’s try,
We’ll sail beneath the open sky!”
[Chorus]
Across the ocean, wide and blue,
Columbus sailed with a brave crew too!
The Niña, the Pinta, and Santa María,
Sailing for dreams and new ideas!
Across the ocean, waves so high,
They followed the stars that lit the sky!
Brave and bold, their hearts were true,
They sailed the sea till the land came through!
[Verse 2]
The journey was long, the food ran low,
The sailors whispered, “Should we go?”
But Columbus said, “Just one more day,
I feel that land is on the way!”
They watched the sun set every night,
And prayed the dawn would bring them light.
Then one clear morning, with joyful cries,
They saw green land before their eyes!
[Chorus]
Across the ocean, wide and blue,
Columbus sailed with a dream come true!
The Niña, the Pinta, and Santa María,
Brought hope and courage to the idea!
Across the ocean, brave and bright,
They found new shores by morning light!
Brave and bold, their hearts were true,
They found a world both old and new!
[Bridge]
Now every year we stop and say,
“Let’s learn from history today!”
About explorers, brave and kind,
Who dreamed and never stayed behind.
We think of oceans, maps, and stars,
And how they sailed so very far.
It’s not just about who found what land,
It’s courage, teamwork, heart in hand!
[Verse 3]
So when you dream, both near and far,
Remember who you really are.
Like Columbus, brave and strong,
You can chase your dreams all day long!
Keep learning, growing, being kind,
There’s so much wonder you can find.
For every child, girl or boy,
Exploring brings the world such joy!
[Final Chorus]
Across the ocean, wide and blue,
Let’s celebrate what dreamers do!
The Niña, the Pinta, and Santa María,
Carried a dream that’s still with ya!
Across the ocean, wave and cheer,
For the lessons we learn year by year!
With open hearts and skies so true,
Let’s sail for dreams—me and you!
