it was all for her

If I had to guess what it was/ That was going through the mind of Christopher Columbus/ The seven seas and Antoinette/ As her glory filled the ballroom/ The waves she cast upon the peasants kings and all who/ Beheld her there, he stood and stared/ And killed her with kindness, kindness/ And I know he could not have been prepared for/ The distance he would travel for his love/ He would have you think/ His claim was for Spain/ But all the while he knew that/ He knew it was all for her.
