I am Christopher Columbus
On the bounding main
Searching for a new world
And I donât know when Iâm back again
If I can find my way back home again
I am scanning the horizon
But thereâs nothing there to see
Wondering where to turn to
And the quest seems more like a fantasy
With every passing moment it seems to be
And thatâs the thing that frightens me
Whenever I feel afraid
I put my faith in terra firma
And Iâm never far away
Because youâre my terra firma
I am on Apollo Seven
Heading into space
Where no man has ever ventured
And at times I feel so out of place
Then the moon looks like your shining face (yeah)
I see Terra far below me
Green and white and blue
I know you are down there somewhere
But I feel so far away from you
Hoping that youâre thinking of me too
Even though I know you always do
Whenever I feel alone
I come home to terra firma
A place I can call my own
Because youâre my terra firma
Whenever I feel afraid
I put my faith in terra firma
And Iâm never far away
Because youâre my terra firma
I am off to great adventures
Leaving you behind
Far beyond the border
And I have no clue what I will find
But the thought of home never leaves my mind (oooh)
Though the minutes stretch to hours
And the hours stretch to days
Through the trials and tribulations
When it seems like Iâm so far away
And itâs just too high a price to pay
There is one thing I can always say
Whenever I feel afraid
I put my faith in terra firma
And Iâm never far away
Because youâre my terra firma
Whenever I feel alone
I come home to terra firma
A place I can call my own
Because youâre my terra firma
Whenever I feel afraid
I put my faith in terra firma
And Iâm never far away
Because youâre my terra firma
Whenever I feel alone
I come home to terra firma
The place I can call my own because [3x]
Because youâre my terra firma
