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
