Sailed as far from Malabar
As any soul has known
Peaks of snow, a jagged coast
Great giants made of stone
Two months through the Visayas
Then three beyond the blue
At California’s crest turned south
The mouth of hell we drew
Only for you
Only for you
Left the bay, the 5th of May
North to San Bernabe
Beneath a tent the sacrament
The feast was held on Sunday
Indios y Indio
A gift of tiger’s skin
The Latin Mass, our foreign past
Forgive us this our sin
Only for you
Only for you
Only for you
Only for you
I feel brand new
Only for you
San Diego, Tres Reyes
Y Santo Tomas
Santa Barbara learned her name
Grumetes learned the stocks
The autumn course, our bearings north
The winter not forgotten
Luzon wood built cannon proof
But like us quick to rotten
Thomas turned back with the ill
Diego kept the cross
A New Year’s day beyond Drake’s Bay
The frigata was lost
North we climbed, morale declined
Not even six could stand
But through the storm, from legend torn
The strait of Anián
Only for you
Yes, only for you
Oh, only for you
Yes, only for you
The floating ghost, the bouldered coast
Too weakened to make land
The wind so rose, the lamp oil froze
We never touched the sand
Oh I believe, oh, I believe
The father and the son
Claim this coast, oh holy ghost
Who spoke through prophets’ tongues
Only for you
Only for you
Only for you
Yes, only for you
I feel brand new
Only for you
