Key Stage 1. Johann Sebastian Bach.
Over the oceans
Over the oceansAnd over the seasSail north or southOr go west, or go eastTime and tide travellingBlown by the breeze…Over the centuries!
1 Christopher Columbus set off with his crewWay back in 1492What a surprise -a New World came in view…Over the centuries!
Chorus
2 Maps, for Magellan, they helped him exploreSailing-ships voyaging, shore to shoreCircling the world and then sailing some more…Over the centuries!
Chorus
3 England and Scotland and Ireland and WalesHundreds of islands with seafaring talesTravel through history, wind in our sails…Over the centuries!
Chorus (twice, speeding up)
