With just a vision and convicted soul,
He and his men faced the great ocean's roll
Though things did not go quite as planned:
He sought for new routes, but found a new land!
For the stars of our destiny aligned
And the Gods gave a gift to Western Kind
One that we alone were to manifest
And thus from sea to sea, we became blessed.
For we pressed our will, and we tamed the land
So that our cities could grow fast and grand.
Now, we would not be here if not for him
So fill your glass up to the very brim,
Lift it in a toast, and then proudly say
Brethren, have a Happy Columbus Day!
