This Island Earth Lyrics

Kenny Loggins This Island Earth

When will we know love
When will we listen to heaven above
And how will we return?
Someone said that we've been tempting fate
But I believe this song just wouldn't come if it's too late

When will we see a light upon the ocean
Shining like a star that leads us ever onward
There's a new world waiting when will we see rebirth
This island earth

Maybe our moment is gone, maybe we've stood
And watched a moment too long so why do I believe?
Someone said, that the truth's too much to take
But tell me how we can face it
If we only want to look the other way

When will we see a light upon the ocean
Shining like a star that leads us ever onward
There's a new world waiting when will we see rebirth
This island earth

To a new beginning
Shine for all it's worth
This island earth

Why, what will we say to the angry child
Try to explain away her fears while we're crying burning tears
Maybe it's time to cry the tear that matters

When will we see a light upon the ocean
Shining like a star that leads us ever onward
There's a new world waiting when will we see rebirth
This island earth

Oh, as we sail through the stars
We're alive on this island of ours
