The Island

The wind calls my name But I'm held back by my ball and chain That's as heavy as the choices I've made With every step I take My path cracks in my wake I'm left here getting soaked by the rain Let me feel the water beneath my feet The mist from the breakers makes it hard to see Thinking of the good times among my old friends and past lives one thing stands higher than the rest Take me back to the island surrounded by my brothers out of the reach of our mothers Dive into the deep end of the deep blue ocean as it crashes at our feet Take me back to the island surrounded by my brothers as we relive our memories The golden hills lit with the sunrise set us free I saw my friend in a dream last night We'd gone our separate ways And for the moment that was fine But it seems just like yesterday we were brothers in our own right What happened to running wild through the night There's no rest till the days are done My breath fogs in the shadows of the clouded sun Thinking of the good times among my friends and my past lives One thing stands higher than the rest Take me back to the island surrounded by my brothers out of the reach of our mothers Dive into the deep end of the deep blue ocean as it crashes at our feet Take me back to the island surrounded by my brothers as we relive our memories The golden hills lit with the sunrise set us free When all the leaves have fallen from the tree Will I be just another drop in the great blue sea or will I stand out like the island in my dreams
