《The Island》歌词

[00:00:00] The Island - Dan ar Braz

[00:00:27] They say the skies of Lebanon are burning

[00:00:32] Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat

[00:00:38] They're showing pictures on the television

[00:00:43] Women and children dying in the streets

[00:00:49] And we're still at it in our own place

[00:00:53] Still trying to reach the future through the past

[00:00:59] Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone

[00:01:05] But hey don't listen to me

[00:01:08] This wasn't meant to be no sad song

[00:01:13] W've her to much of that before

[00:01:18] Right now I only want to be here with you

[00:01:23] Till the morning due comes falling

[00:01:29] I want to take you to the Island

[00:01:34] And trace your footprints in the sand

[00:01:40] And in the evening when there's no one around

[00:01:44] We'll make love to the sound of the ocean

[00:01:57] They're raising banners over by the markets

[00:02:02] White washing slogans on the shipyard walls

[00:02:07] Witch doctors praying for a mighty showdown

[00:02:12] No way are holy flag is gonna fall

[00:02:19] Up here we sacrifice our children

[00:02:23] To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday

[00:02:28] And teach them dying will lead us into glory

[00:02:35] But hey don't listen to me

[00:02:37] This wasn't meant to be no sad song

[00:02:43] We've had too much of that before

[00:02:48] Right now I only want to be here with you

[00:02:52] Till the morning dew comes falling

[00:02:59] I want to take you to the Island

[00:03:04] And trace your footprints in the sand

[00:03:09] And in the evening when the sun goes down

[00:03:13] We'll make love to the sound of the ocean

[00:03:39] Now I know us plain folk don't see all the story

[00:03:45] And all this peace and love's just copping out

[00:03:50] And a guess this young boys dying in the ditches

[00:03:55] Is just what being free is all about

[00:04:00] And how this twisted wreckage down on main street

[00:04:06] Will bring us all together in the end

[00:04:11] And we go marching down the road to freedom

[00:04:25] Freedom

[00:04:52] Freedom
