Islands & Shores

I figured out why some days feel like ages

I figured out why some rooms feel like cages

You left us with no number we could call

You left us with no sense of hope at all

I won't mind a little bit of deceivin'

If it got me back into some believin'

Something gets to come when something gives

Something gets to die when something lives

Who's lookin' out for this love? Who's lookin' out for us?

Who's lookin' out for this love? Who's lookin' out for us?

Things are gonna be so hard on you, no matter what they say

You're gonna need some purpose when standin' in harm's way

You won't let anybody tell you what to do

Sometimes I think that's exactly what you ought to

In a world where everyone's an island

I find myself they're waiting at the shore

Someplace to stand, someplace to fall

A place to call our own

I am getting ready to depend

Who's lookin' out for this love? Who's lookin' out for us?

Who's lookin' out for this love? Who's lookin' out for us?

Things are gonna be so hard on you, no matter what they say

You're gonna need some purpose when standin' in harm's way

If it's up to me, I'd give you all the oceans

All the money and the factories, and banks

I'd give you all the love and deep devotion

All the highways and the airways, and the tanks

I'd give you time, I'd give you tears and laughter

You should not hesitate to raise the stakes

I can see us rise to the occasion

I can see us gather at the gates
