Pocahontas

In sixteen hundred seven

We sailed the open sea

For glory, God and gold and the Virginia Company

For the New World is like heaven

And we'll all be rich and free

Or so we have been told by the Virginia Company

So we have been told by the Virginia Company

For glory, God and gold and the Virginia Company

- Ready to hoist the cannon? - Right! - Hey, look. Is that Smith?

That's him, all right. The old sea dog.

Captain John Smith. I've heard some amazing stories about him.

- Are you coming on this voyage too? - Of course he is, you half-wit.

You can't fight Indians without John Smith.

That's right. I'm not about to let you boys have all the fun.

On the beaches of Virginny

There's diamonds like debris

There silver rivers flow and gold you pick right off a tree

With a nugget for my Winnie

And another one for me

And all the rest will go to the Virginia Company

To glory, God and gold

And the Virginia Company

Haul on the brace!

- Come on, come on! - Do your best!

Watch out!

Faster! She's taking on more water!

Look out!

John! Get down here!

The cannons are breaking loose!

- Reef the topsails! - Yes, sir! - Steady on your course.

It's all right, Thomas. We'll get her tied off.

Say your prayers, men!

Thomas, watch it!

Help!

- Man overboard! - Help!

- Stay your course! He's lost! - Help!

- Pull the pins! - Aye, sir!

Smith! Smith!

Are you crazy?

Hang on, Thomas! I've got you!

Quick! The rope!

Heave!

Come on, lads! Pull!

- Pull! Pull! - Pull! Pull!

- Put your back into it! - Pull!

- Pull! - Hang on!

There, my lucky lads.

Well, that was refreshing.

Well done, Smith.

Of course, you'd all do the same for me.

- Oh, sure, sure. Of course we would. - Sure, yes. Yeah, we would.

Absolutely!

- Trouble on deck? - Governor Ratcliffe.

- Thomas fell overboard, sir. - Thank heavens he's been successfully retrieved.

- Well done, Smith. - Thank you, sir.

Don't lose heart, men. It won't be long before we reach the New World.

And remember what awaits us there.

Freedom, prosperity...

the adventure of our lives.

You're the finest crew England has to offer, and nothing--

not wind nor rain nor a thousand bloodthirsty savages--

shall stand in our way.

Carry on, men!

A stirring oration, sir.

I'm sure the men were most exhilarated.

Let us hope so. I'll need those witless peasants to dig up my gold, won't I?

This New World's gonna be great,John.

I'm gonna get a pile of gold, build me a big house...

and if any Indian tries to stop me, I'll blast him.

You just worry about that fortune of yours, Thomas.

- Leave the savages to me. - You think they'll give us much trouble?

Not as much trouble as Smith'll give them.

We'll kill ourselves an lnjun

Or maybe two or three

We're stalwart men and bold of the Virginia Company

What do you suppose the New World will look like?

Like all the others, I suppose.

I've seen hundreds of new worlds, Thomas.

What could possibly be different about this one?

lt's glory, God and gold And the Virginia Company

Steady as the beating drum Singing to the cedar flute

Seasons go and seasons come

Bring the corn and bear the fruit

By the waters sweet and clean Where the mighty sturgeon lives

Plant the squash and reapa the bean

All the Earth our mother gives

Oh, great spirit, hear our song Helpa us keepa the ancient ways

Keepa the sacred fire strong

Walk in balance all our days

Seasons go and seasons come steady as the beating drum

Plum to seed to bud to palum

Steady as the beating drum

It's good to be home.

The Massawomecks are defeated!

With the help of our brothers, our villages are safe again.

Your return has brought much joy to the village.

Look at all the smiling faces.

Yes, but there's one smiling face I don't see.

- Where is my daughter? - You know Pocahontas.

She has her mother's spirit.

She goes wherever the wind takes her.

Pocahontas!

Your father's back! Come down here!

He's back, Flit.

Come on, Meeko!

No! Not that way.

Show-off.

Uh-oh!

Pocahontas?

Pocahontas! Are you all right?

Well, you better be all right because I'm not coming in after you!

Don't you think we're getting a-- a little old for these games?

Help me turn this thing over.

- What were you doing up there? - Thinking.

- Meeko! - About the dream again? Have you figured it out yet?

I know it means something. I just don't know what.

You should ask your father about it.

Maybe I should. Come on, Flit.

Quit playing around. We have to get back.

...faced a determined enemy.

The battle lasted from the rising of the sun until the evening shadows fell.

Our warriors fought with courage, but none as bravely as Kocoum...

for he attacked with the fierce strength of the bear.

- He has proven himself to be the greatest of warriors... - Oh, he is so handsome.

- and the finest among us... - Hmph. I especially love his smile.

destroying every enemy in his path.

Tonight we will feast in his honour.

- My daughter. - Wing-gapa-o, Father.

Seeing you gives me great joy.

I'm so glad you've come home safely.

Come with me. We have much to talk about.

I want to hear everything you've been doing.

Father, for many nights now I've been having a very strange dream.

I think it's telling me something's about to happen. Something exciting.

Yes, something exciting is about to happen.

- Really? What is it? - Kocoum has asked to seek your hand in marriage.

Marry Kocoum?

I told him it would make my heart soar.

But he's so serious.

My daughter, Kocoum will make a fine husband.

He is loyal and strong and will build you a good house with sturdy walls.

With him, you will be safe from harm.

Father, I think my dream is pointing me down another path.

-This is the right path for you. -But why can't I choose--

Pocahontas, come with me. You are the daughter of the chief.

It is time to take your place among our people.

Even the wild mountain stream...

must someday join the big river.

As the river cuts his paath

Though the river's paroud and strong

He will choose the smoothest course

That's why rivers live so long.

They're steady

As the steady beating drum

Your mother wore this for our wedding.

It was her dream to see you wear it at your own.

It suits you.

He wants me to be steady like the river.

But it's not steady at all.

What I love most about rivers is you can't stepa in the same river twice

The water's always changing always flowing

But people, I guess can't live like that We all must pay a price

To be safe we lose our chance of ever knowing

What's around the river bend

Waiting just around the river bend

I look once more just around the river bend

Beyond the shore where the gulls fly free

Don't know what for

What I dream the day might send Just around the river bend

For me

Coming for me

I feel it there beyond those trees or right behind these waterfalls

Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming

For a handsome sturdy husband who builds handsome, sturdy walls

And never dreams that something might be coming

Just around the river bend

Just around the river bend

I look once more just around the river bend

Beyond the shore Somewhere past the sea

Don't know what for Why do all my dreams extend

Just around the river bend

Just around the river bend

Should I choose the smoothest course

Steady as the beating drum

Should I marry Kocoum

Is all my dreaming at an end

Or do you still

Wait for me

Dream giver

Just around the river

Bend

Is that my Pocahontas?

Grandmother Willow, I need to talk to you.

Good morning, child.

I was hoping you'd visit today.

Oh! Why, your mother's necklace!

That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

My father wants me to marry Kocoum.

Kocoum? But he's so serious.

I know. My father thinks it's the right path for me.
