Patti Smith
We were going to see the world
In this land we placed baptismal fonts
And an infinite number were baptized
And they called us Caribe
Which means men of great wisdom
Where are you going?
And are you going anywhere?
Where are you going?
Send me a letter
If you go at all
Ah the salvations of souls
But wisdom we had not
For these people had neither king nor lord
And bowed to no one
For they have lived in their own liberty
Where are you going?
And are you going anywhere?
Going in circles,going in circles anywhere
I saw and knew the inconstant shifting of fortune
And now I write to you
Words that have not been written
Words from the New World
Tracing the circles
Moving across my eyes
Lying on the ship
And gazing at the western sky
Tracing lazy circles in the sky
Hey wake up! wake up!
Where are you going?
And are you going anywhere?
Where are you going?
Send me a letter
If you go at all
It's such a delight to watch them dance
Free of sacrifice and romance
Free of all the things that we hold dear
Is that clear Your Excellency?
And I guess it's time to go but
I gotta send you just a few more lines
From the New World
Tracing the circles
Moving across my eyes
Lying on the ship
And gazing at the western sky
Tracing lazy circles in the sky
And the sky opened
And we laid down our armor
And we danced naked as they
Baptized in the rain
Of the New World
