The Island - Celtic Thunder[00:00:00]

They say the skies of lebanon are burning[00:00:09]

Those mighty cedars bleedin' in the heat[00:00:14]

They're showing pictures on the television[00:00:19]

Women and children dying in the street[00:00:24]

And we're still at it in our own place[00:00:31]

Still tryin' to reach the future through the past[00:00:35]

Still tryin' to carve tomorrow from a tombstone[00:00:39]

But hey don't listen to me this wasn't meant to be no sad song[00:00:46]

We've heard too much of that before[00:00:54]

Right now I only want to be here with you[00:00:59]

Till the morning dew comes falling and I wanna take you to the island[00:01:03]

Trace your footprints in the sand[00:01:14]

And in the evening when the sun goes down[00:01:19]

We'll make love to the sound of the ocean[00:01:23]

They're raising banners over by the markets[00:01:31]

Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls[00:01:36]

Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown no way our holy flag is gonna' fall[00:01:41]

Up here we sacrifice our children[00:01:52]

To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday[00:01:56]

And teach them dying will lead us into glory[00:02:01]

But hey don't listen to me[00:02:08]

Cause' this wasn't meant to be no sad song[00:02:10]

I've sung too much of that before[00:02:15]

Right now I only want to be here with you[00:02:20]

Till the morning dew comes falling[00:02:25]

I wanna take you to the island and trace your footprints in the sand[00:02:31]

And in the evening when there's no one around[00:02:41]

We'll make love to the sound of the ocean[00:02:45]

Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story[00:02:53]

And I know this peace and love's just copping out[00:02:58]

And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches is just what being free is all about[00:03:03]

And how this twisted wreckage down on main street will bring us all together in the end[00:03:13]

And we'll go marching down the road to freedom freedom freedom[00:03:23]
