On an island that I know in a distant land The sun comes out each day and warms the sand Yeah, look at it rising from the sea I was in this special place when I first realized That there is something of which we are all deprived Yeah and that's just a little peace It's the story of our lives Working hard and striving without seeing what we lose along the way Well I have finally found a sunny corner of my mind where I can stay Sane When the walls close in And the weight becomes too much to bear Yeah you know where to go Make a getaway and find me there Far away From the struggle that I live with every day Got nowhere to be so I just lay awake And I'm searching for the real Oh, and the sand beneath my feet Absorbs the blood and the sweat I spill much better than concrete And I know if I found myself in trying times I'd close my eyes And feel the ocean breeze Whoa, it's the story of our lives Working hard and striving without seeing what we lose along the way Well I have finally found a sunny corner of my mind where I can stay Sane When the walls close in And the weight becomes too much to Bear Yeah you know where to go Make a getaway and find me there Far away Oh, so far away When the walls close in And the weight becomes too much to bear Yeah you know where to go Make a getaway and find me there Far away Oh, so far away
