Only Forward

The quotation is from an ancient Roman play by Seneca
An age shall come after many years when the ocean
Will loose the chain of things and a huge land finally reveal
The old book in Survile, these lines are followed by this one
My father fulfilled his prophecy
When October 12th in the year of our Lord 1492

Today is October 12, 1942
This is our birthday
This broadcast is part of the celebration
It comes to you in the principal American languages
And you're hearing it in every country of our hemisphere
Happy birthday everybody!

The grades and the anonymous, the conquistadors, the priests
The prospectors, the traders, the trappers
The band or artist, the leather stockings
Every man of them will move forward valiantly into
Any part of the uncharted darkness of our new world
He's a discoverer of America

Maybe the unknown can only be explored by men of no imagination
But I think you need imagination to make a try
Canabin pleasant at first crossing
Somebody once said that adventure is
An attitude taken toward discomfort
Imagine the first day of that first Atlantic adventure
