The Island - Mickey Harte[00:00:00]

They say the skies of Lebanon are burning[00:00:22]

Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat[00:00:27]

They're showing pictures on the television[00:00:33]

Women and children dying in the street[00:00:39]

And we're still at it in our own place[00:00:46]

Still trying to reach the future through the past[00:00:50]

Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone[00:00:55]

But hey don't listen to me[00:01:03]

This wasn't meant to be no sad song[00:01:05]

We've heard too much of that before[00:01:12]

Right now I only want to be here with you[00:01:17]

Till the morning dew comes falling[00:01:22]

I want to take you to the island[00:01:28]

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

And in the evening when the sun goes down[00:01:40]

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

They're raising banners over by the markets[00:01:58]

Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls[00:02:04]

Witch doctors praying for a mighty showdown[00:02:10]

No way our holy flag is gonna fall[00:02:15]

Up here we sacrifice our children[00:02:22]

To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday[00:02:27]

And teach them dying will lead us into glory[00:02:32]

But hey don't listen to me[00:02:39]

This wasn't meant to be no sad song[00:02:42]

We've heard too much of that before[00:02:48]

Right now I only want to be here with you[00:02:54]

Till the morning dew comes falling[00:02:58]

I want to take you to the island[00:03:05]

Trace your footprints in the sand[00:03:11]

And in the evening when the sun goes down[00:03:16]

We'll make love to the sound of the ocean[00:03:21]

Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story[00:04:12]

And I know this peace and love's just copping out[00:04:18]

And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches[00:04:23]

Is just what being free is all about[00:04:29]

And how this twisted wreckage down on main street[00:04:35]

Will bring us all together in the end[00:04:40]

And we'll go marching down the road to freedom[00:04:46]

Freedom[00:04:55]

Freedom[00:05:02]
