Burn the Ship

This song was sent to me by Caitlin. It really speaks to me and directly entails where I am in my life right now. Go watch this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqP3lINxnho&feature=related But in the meantime here are the lyrics

Burn The Ships

In the spring of 1519

A Spanish fleet set sail.

Cortez told his sailers,

"This mission must not fail."

On the eastern shore of Mexico,

they landed with great dreams,

but the hardships of the new life

made them restless and weak.

Quietly they whisper

"Let's sail back to the life we knew"

but the one who led them there was saying,

"Burn the ships!

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

it landed with great joy.

but the enemy was waiting

to steal kill and destroy

Quietly he whispered

"sail back to the life you know"

But the one who led us here 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.

Let 'em burn!"
