Only Forward

The quotation is from an ancient Roman play by Seneca
 An age shall come after many years when the ocean
 Will loose the chain of things and a huge land finally reveal
 The old book in Survile, these lines are followed by this one
 My father fulfilled his prophecy
 When October 12th in the year of our Lord 1492
 Today is October 12, 1942
 This is our birthday
 This broadcast is part of the celebration
 It comes to you in the principal American languages
 And you're hearing it in every country of our hemisphere
 Happy birthday everybody!

 The grades and the anonymous, the conquistadors, the priests
 The prospectors, the traders, the trappers
 The band or artist, the leather stockings
 Every man of them will move forward valiantly into
 Any part of the uncharted darkness of our new world
 He's a discoverer of America

 Maybe the unknown can only be explored by men of no imagination
 But I think you need imagination to make a try
 Canabin pleasant at first crossing
 Somebody once said that adventure is
 An attitude taken toward discomfort
 Imagine the first day of that first Atlantic adventure
