"This Island Earth"

"This Island Earth" by Kenny Loggins is one of my favorite songs. I love the message.


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 she 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
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
Oh oh oh oh

When will we see a light upon the ocean
Shining like a star
That leads us ever onward
To a new beginning
When will she see rebirth
This Island Earth

When we will see
Oh as we sail
Through the stars
We're alive on this island of ours

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

Oh as we sail
Through the starts
I'm alive on this island of ours

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

Oh as we sail
Through the starts
We're alive on this island of ours
