The Island
There was a desolate Island
Far, far away
There sat a man
Not knowing his way
His friend told him
“I know the way”
So he traveled by car and train
Boat and plane
To that desolate Island
Far, far away
Where that man now sits
Not knowing his way
He somehow landed
In that God forsaken place
Unbelieving and doubt
Mixed in his heart
On that desolate Island
Far, far away
Where that man sits
Not knowing his way
He trusted that man
To put his life in his hand
Then the cruel wheel of fate
Dropped him
On that desolate Island
Far, far away
Sitting there
Not knowing his way
The island choked
His heart and thoughts
Making him feel
As though he were alone
On that desolate Island
Far, far away
Sitting there
Not knowing his way
He decided one day
To make a way
To get back home
And possibly escape
That desolate Island
Far, far away
Where that man stands
Possibly knowing his way
He walked to the ocean
Looked into the water
Saw his reflection
And doubt in his eyes
Because of that desolate Island
Far, far away
Where he stood at the shore
Knowing his way
He jumped in the water
Enjoying the feel
As warmth embraced him
Eliminating fear
Leaving that desolate Island
Far, far away
Where he once stood
Not knowing his way
He gave up on those
Who he thought he knew
And started over
With little fear
Away from that desolate Island
Far, far away
Where he once stood
Not knowing his way
