A Living Island

Lyrics

[I. Brave the Storm] [Intro] In the West Atlantic, beyond the Windward Chain A living coral island where we can start again Ahhh [Verse 1] A world gone mad, on the last plane out we flew There's no one with whom l'd rather brave the storm than you You're my heart, you're my home (You'll never have to go it alone) [Chorus] Is this a paradise or a prison Approaching ships now I espy Danger or solution We hope, we pray (Day to day) Never knowing where this crazy world's going [Verse 2] I can pick up the pieces so long as you're right beside me Here with me United at risk, divided we must stand This is the current state of the world we're living in Ahhhh [Verse 3] Unfettered by fear, empowered by the science Let us learn to be the wiser by this time next year You're my heart, you're my home (You'll never have to go it alone) [Chorus] Is this a paradise or a prison Approaching ships now I espy We hope, we pray Never knowing where this crazy world's going [Post-Chorus] Just you and me beneath the living island sun Watching from our hilltop, the whole world come undone [Keyboard Solo] [II. Wake Up] [Vocal Harmonizing] [Bridge] And the voice of the Mother so loud, so clear Rebirth, now Earth rebirth, now! Are we yet waking up from the nightmare? Are we yet waking up from the nightmare? (How we're ever so shaken up by the nightmare) A nightmare of fools that pull the levers when the curtain's drawn And play us as their pawn Their fear and greed (Are we waking up from the nightmare?) Undermining every countermeasure [III. We Will Remember] [Verse 4] Nation to nation We're in this together, though together apart in isolation So here's to you To the spirit of community Here's to us To our humanity [Verse 5] Here's to the frontline saviours And the everyday heroes unseen To you with sad spirits Who mourn dear ones now gone To their memories We dedicate this song [Verse 6] And the time will certainly come Their courageous stories shall be told As deeply we hold (As deeply we hold) Hold them in the highest honour We will remember! [Outro] Yes, each courageous story will be told As deeply we hold (A deeply we hold) Hold them in the highest honour In our hearts love (In our hearts love) Forevermore
