This island

This old island, sittin’ in the sea,

Worn by time, but she’s still breathin’ in me,

She’s seen the fire, she’s felt the rain,

Too many tears, too much pain.

Verse 2

Stone and sand got stories to tell,

Whispers of heaven, echoes of hell,

She’s beautiful, quiet, strong and worn,

Every soul here battle-born.

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, the nights were long, the road was hard,

But love kept beatin’ in our hearts.

Chorus

This island in the sea,

She ain’t just land to me,

Crowns may rise, crowns may fall,

But we won’t let her fall at all.

With these hands and this belief,

We’ll hold our island in the sea.

Verse 3

Her people stand with weathered hands,

Built on hope, not shifting sand,

Through war drums loud and peace so thin,

We kept the fire burnin’ in.

Bridge (spoken or sung low)

Let the waves keep callin’ my name,

Let the wind remember where I came,

As long as there’s breath in me,

I’ll stand for this island in the sea.

Final Chorus (stronger, fuller)

This island in the sea,

Blood and love, history,

Kings and queens just pass on by,

But our roots run deep, can’t die.

Till my last breath leaves me free,

I’ll protect this island in the sea.
