Out here on my island

things are pretty peaceful.

And out here on my island

There aren’t any worries at all.

Out here on my island,

the scenery is beautiful.

The tide moves in each night

to wash away any pain.

And out here on my island

time doesn’t exist.

I have a connection with heaven,

and I never hear bad news.

But out here on my island

it can start to get kind of lonely.

And out here on my island

you can only love from afar.

So I jump in water,

and I start to swim to the mainland.

And when I finally reach the shoreline

I see people everywhere.

On their enormous island,

which is really just as beautiful.

But they’re giving up on loving it

and they’re light is growing dim.

So I try to do what I can

to make their island look like my island.

Someplace pretty peaceful,

Someplace with no worries at all.

But it’ll never be my island.

So I keep on swimming back and forth.

Because out here on my island,

is the place I really love.
