Man Is an Island

Lyrics

Man is an island, sadly adrift
 Wandering forever, while continents shift
 He came out of nowhere, no shirt on his back
 Armed for survival, no plan of attack
 ♪
 He went to the mountain, he went to the sea
 He cried for protection, but begged to be free
 He fell on that mountain, he drowned in the sea
 Blind to the order, death to the harmony
 ♪
 Nature's his rival, nature's his friend
 In the beginning there was no end
 God is his island, He made the sun
 Nature, mankind as one
 ♪
 Man is an island, sadly adrift
 Wandering forever, while continents shift
 God is his island, He made the sun
 Nature, mankind as one
 
 God is his island, He made the light
 Man on his island waits for the end of night
 ♪
 In the beginning there was no end
