Burn The Ships Lyrics

Burn The Ships lyrics

In the spring of 1519 a Spanish fleet set sail

Cortez told his sailors this mission must not fail

On the eastern shore of Mexico they landed with great dreams

But the hardships of the new world make them restless and weak



Quietly they whispered, "Let's sail back to the life we knew"

But the one who led them there was saying



"Burn the ships we're here to stay

There's no way we could go back

Now that we've come this far by faith

Burn the ships we've passed the point of no return

Our life is here so let the ships burn and burn"



In the spring of new beginnings a searching heart set sail

Looking for a new life and a love that would not fail

On the shores of grace and mercy we landed with great joy

But an enemy was waiting to steal, kill, and destroy



Quietly he whispers, "Go back to the life you know"

But the one who led us here is saying



"Burn the ships we're here to stay

There's no way we could go back

Now that we've come this far by faith

Burn the ships we've passed the point of no return

Our life is here so let the ships burn and burn"



Nobody said it would be easy

But the one who brought us here

Is never gonna leave us alone



Never gonna leave, never gonna leave

Never gonna leave, never gonna leave

Never gonna leave



Burn the ships we're here to stay

There's no way we could go back

Now that we've come this far by faith

Burn the ships we've passed the point of no return

Our life is here so let the ships burn



Burn the ships we're here to stay

There's no way we could go back

Now that we've come this far by faith

Burn the ships we've passed the point of no return

Our life is here so let the ships burn, so let the ships burn

Let them burn, let the ships burn
