Adapted from Words and music © 1991 by Nancy Schimmel In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue, It was a courageous thing to do But someone was already here. Chorus: The Inuit and Cherokee, The Aztec and Menominee, The Onandaga and the Cree; Columbus sailed across the sea, But someone was already here. Columbus knew the world was round So he looked for the East while westward bound, But he didn't find what he thought he found And someone was already here. Chorus: It isn't like it was empty space, Taino met him face to face. Could anyone discover the place When someone was already here? Chorus So tell me, who discovered what? He thought he was in a different spot. Columbus was lost, the Taino were not; They were already here. |
