This Island Earth (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

(ferry)

So i send an sos
Semaphore myself
Catch me falling finally
Through the air and underground
Everywhere this sound
Screams whisper "i can´t breathe"
I feel it in my bones
Though i know i´m not alone
You´re spinning far too far from me
So cruel to be so kind
Now i know i´ll always find
This island earth
A mystery
As i stumble through the dark
Dream lovers dream apart
Starry eyed a vision rushes in
Do i wonder or care
My spirit’s bleeding god knows where
A never ending stream
I tried to love, tried to find
My soul in shadows running blind
And restless as the sea
Via sidewalks through the haze
Wandering as in a maze
Lost in number time and space
So near and yet so far
Castaway as strangers are
This island earth
And you and me

This Island Earth (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Furious the exodus walks
Along the maddening march of death
With the furor and the masses
Whose supremacies is the dominion
Alien bodies stiff and cold
Your inner sane turns numb
You transform into a rage
Too naive to understand

And as they go on the sacrifice grows
We’re living on ground zero, fire
This island earth
Target locked, systems checked, enter code
We’re living on ground zero, fire
(fire, this island earth)

Locked up in a room
Human beings in a cage
The sentence a scienced death
As they pull the triggers of ray guns
Evil blackened eyes of youth
Absorbing life’s hidden anguish
Death thrown all about the ground
Or those who wouldn’t fight

And as they go on the sacrifice grows
We’re living on ground zero, fire
This island earth
Target locked, systems checked, enter code
We’re living on ground zero, fire
(fire, this island earth)

We’re living on this island earth (this island earth)
We’re living on this island earth (this island earth)
We’re living on this island earth (this island earth)
We’re living on this island earth

Calling all dreamers and optimistic fools
Don’t let go of your dream make it now make it all come true
If you believe in a brighter day
I know we can find our way

To this island, in a starry ocean
Poetry in motion, this island earth
Spinnin’ like a dancer, gravity is the answer
Rendezvous in the blue, this island earth

We don’t know what’s in store today
We can spread our wings and we can soar away
Or we can go like the dinosaurs, they say
The choice is ours to make

All this seems like yesterday
We can wake up one day and be history
Or stick around to unravel the mystery
Of how we came to be

On this island, in a starry ocean
Poetry in motion, this island earth
A beautiful oasis for all the human races
The only home that we know, this island earth

Well i know we can touch the stars one day
Kick up the dust on mars one day
Or trip the light of the milky way
We’ve got to find our way

If you’re lookin’ for a miracle open your eyes
There was one this morning just about sunrise
Dawn came breakin’ like a wave on the sea
And it’s there for you and me

Calling all dreamers and optimistic fools
Don’t let go of your dream make it now make it all come true
If you believe in a brighter day
I know we can find our way

To this island, in a starry ocean
She’s poetry in motion, this island earth
Spinnin’ like a dancer, gravity is the answer
Rendezvous in the blue, this island earth

Whoa, this island earth
Got to find our way
Whoa, this island earth
Whoa, 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.

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
