take your children down to the water wash their heads
and sing .. holy holy
Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong
and tall beside me.
All my life ... behind me.
You gently took me by my hand and led me to where I
couldnt see,but where Ive always been ... an island.
In my dreams Ive been an island ...
Where Im all alone, and Ive built these walls stone by
stone.
I want to leave but I don't know where to go.
Ive tried the best I can, but it's hard to be a man and
feel the way you feel.
Im different on the inside. Ive tried to give to you
what you need to get you through.
Ill always be ... beside you.
The day you were born I held you ... small and helpless
crying, your life and mine entwining.
As I looked into your eyes I saw myself in an overview,
reaching out to you from this island in the sea.
I don't want to be an island.
Ive tried the best I can, but it's hard to be a man and
feel the way you feel.
Im different on the inside.
Ive tried to give to you what you need to get you
through.
Ill always be ... beside you.
