The Moon Is Up

The moon is up, the stars are bright. the wind is fresh and free! We're out to seek the gold tonight across the silver sea! The world is growing grey and old: break out the sails again! We're out to see a Realm of Gold beyond the Spanish Main. We're sick of all the cringing knees, the courtly smiles and lies God, let Thy singing channel breeze lighten our hearts and eyes! Let love no more be bought and sold for earthly loss or gain; We're out to seek an Age of Gold beyond the Spanish Main. Beyond the light of far Cathay, beyond all mortal dreams, Beyond the reach of night and day Our El Dorado gleams, Revealing - as the skies unfold - A star without a stain, The Glory of the Gates of Gold beyond the Spanish Main.
