    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
