You are the garden of my heart
and I know of many place to go
With no walls and high up spaces
Just these cliffs and their scarred faces, oh
You are the ground on which I stand
and I know there's only so far to run with my dreams
and all this fury wish these waves would crash right through me
Hold me up, I'm treading the water
Hold me up I'm out of it all
'Cause I am not small, I'm an ISLANDER
Keep my head above the water
Salt in my eye the ocean's daughter
Cry my tears for the island, oh
I am not small, I'm an ISLANDER
Keep my head above the water
Salt in my eye the ocean's daugher
Cry my tears for the island, oh
So far the garden was unmanned
but I fear we'll see a new frontier
With their guns, and concrete problems
They wait here for a bomb to solve them
Hold me up, I'm treading the water
Hold me I'm out of it all
'Cause I am not small, I'm an ISLANDER
Keep my head above the water
Salt in my eye the ocean's daughter
Cry my tears for the island oh
I am not small, I'm an ISLANDER
Keep my head above the water
Salt in my eye the ocean's daughter
Cry my tears for the island oh
'Cause I am not small, I'm an ISLANDER
Keep my head above the water
Salt in my eye the ocean's daughter
Cry my tears for the island oh
'Cause I am not small, I'm an ISLANDER
Keep my head above the water
Salt in my eye the ocean's daughter
Cry my tears for the island oh
Cry my tears for the island oh
Cry my tears for the island oh
Cry my tears for the island oh
