	This song was written on Columbus Day 2001 as all Americans were coming to terms with the events of 9/11 and the fact that, as we were dropping bombs in the east, the world would never be the same again.

	Lyrics COLUMBUS DAY 2001 (2001) (words/music: B. Walter) Speak to me, Columbus For this New World is new no more And you’re the only one among us Who has made this trip before And we scattered far the seed you sewed With open minds and open doors Yet we somehow dreamed we’d never grow old But we’re not children anymore From Washington to New Orleans New York to Montreal We’ve drifted down this river of dreams And headed for the falls We reach our for a hand on the shore But the flood pulls us away This New World is new no more And we’re thinking ‘bout the judgment day And it seems like there's so little to win, On this Columbus Day Rivers rise and rivers fall Rivers flood the land And rivers make the crops grow tall And feed the hearts of man And just like rivers, nations rise To quench our thirsty souls Yet when nations fall there’s no disguise For they leave an empty hole So, speak to me, Columbus For the time has come to choose With so many here among us Who'd like to step inside your shoes And together we stand like never before And hand in hand we pray For this New World is new no more And its feelin’ like the judgment day And we’re thinking ‘bout the judgment day We pray that we bring better news On the next Columbus Day
