This Island Earth — текст песни (Kenny Loggins)

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.

Chorus:
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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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