Lyrics

He came dancin' across the water
With his galleons and his guns
Searchin' for a new world
Some palace in the sun

On the shore, Montezuma
With his coca leaves and his pearls
In a house he often wandered
With the secrets of the world

And his servants gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see

And the women all were beautiful
The men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on

Hate was just a legend
War was never known
People worked together
Liftin' many stones

And they carried them to the flatland
Some died along the way
Still they built up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today

And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
But I can't remember how
Or where I lost my way
