Yes: A Living Island

In the West Atlantic, beyond the
Windward Chain
A living coral island where we can start again

A world gone mad, on the last plane out we flew
There’s no one with whom l’d rather brave the storm than you
You’re my heart, you’re my home
(You’ll never have to go it alone)

Is this a paradise or a prison

Approaching ships now I espy
Danger or solution
We hope, we pray
(Day to day)

Never knowing where this crazy world’s going
I can pick up the pieces so long as you’re right beside me
Here with me

United at risk, divided we must stand
This is the current state of the world we’re living in

Unfettered by fear, empowered by the science
Let us learn to be the wiser by this time next year

You’re my heart, you’re my home
(You’ll never have to go it alone)

Is this a paradise or a prison
Approaching ships now I espy
We hope, we pray
Never knowing where this crazy world’s going
Just you and me beneath the living island sun
Watching from our hill top the whole world come undone


And the voice of the Mother so loud, so clear
Rebirth, now

Earth rebirth, now!

Are we yet waking up from the nightmare
Are we yet waking up from the nightmare

(How we’re ever so shaken up by the nightmare)
A nightmare of fools that pull the levers when the curtain’s drawn
And play us as their pawn
Their fear and greed
Undermining every countermeasure

Nation to nation
We’re in this together, though together apart in isolation
So here’s to you
To the spirit of community
Here’s to us
To our humanity

Here’s to the frontline saviors
And the every day heroes unseen
To you with sad spirits
Who mourn dear ones now gone
To their memories
We dedicate this song

And the time will certainly come
Their courageous stories shall be told
As deeply we hold
Hold them in the highest honor
We will remember!

Yes, each courageous story will be told
As deeply we hold
Hold them in the highest honor
In our hearts love
Forevermore
