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
