Lyrics

Yeah on this, I want to have a friend of ours
 Come and join us here
 Now we've been meeting him in New York City for a long time
 Very good friend of ours gonna get up on stage with us
 For a couple of tunes, Mr. Warren Hayes
 ♪
 He came dancing across the water
 With his galleons and guns
 Looking for the New World
 In that palace in the sun
 On the shore lay Montezuma
 With his coca leaves and pearls
 In his halls he often wondered
 With the secrets of the world
 Oh and his subjects gathered 'round him
 Like the leaves around a tree
 In their clothes of many colors
 For the angry gods to see
 And the women all were beautiful
 And the men stood straight and strong
 They offered life in sacrifice
 So that others could go on
 ♪
 Hate was just a legend
 And war was never known
 The people worked together
 And they lifted many stones
 They carried them to the flatlands
 And they died along the way
 But they built up with their bare hands
 What we still can't build today
 And I know she's living there
 She loves me to this day
 I can still remember when
 Or how I lost my way

 Came dancing across the water
 Cortez, Cortez
 Dancing across the water

 Dancing across the water
 Dancing across the water
 Dancing across the water
 Cortez, Cortez

 Dancing across the water
 ♪
 Dancing across the water
 ♪
 Dancing across
 What a killer
 Dancing across the water
 ♪
