Mickey Harte - The Island Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
  • Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
  • They're showing pictures on the television
  • Women and children dying in the street
  • And we're still at it in our own place
  • Still trying to reach the future through the past
  • Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone
  • But hey! Don't listen to me
  • This wasn't meant to be no sad song
  • We've heard too much of that before
  • Right now I only want to be here with you
  • 'Til the morning due comes falling
  • I wanna take you to the island
  • And trace your footprints in the sand
  • And in the evening when the sun goes down
  • We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
  • They're raising banners over by the markets
  • Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
  • Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown
  • No way our holy flag is gonna fall
  • Up here we sacrifice our children
  • To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday
  • And teach them dying will lead us into glory
  • Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
  • And I know this peace and love's just copping out
  • And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
  • Is just what being free is all about
  • And how this twisted wreckage down on main street
  • Will bring us all together in the end
  • And we'll go marching down the road to freedom
  • Freedom
