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
