some men are born with strong hearts that raging tides won't tear apart but not me i am Christopher Columbus it was 1987 when i sailed away to the edge of my sea it was an uncertain start i was born with an unsteady heart but it was all i had to guide me CHORUS some men are born with strong hearts to brave the wind and water some hearts stay whole on an endless sea some men are born with strong hearts that raging tides won't tear apart but not me last night i had a bad dream i believe that i was drowning somewhere in an unknown pool and god, i am a young man cannot remember where i am find me a map, fine me a clue CHORUS i am Christopher Columbus i am living in El Paso every day is a fever - i try not to burn and i am Christopher Columbus alive, living in El Paso and i walk the roof to wait for my return
