THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
on an island
in the ocean of tears
I am waiting
long has been many years
in the winter
of my dismal despair
a calm in the storm
is somebody there?
on an island
in a sea full of fears
I am hiding
nothing's as it appears
ask a question
the answer's all prepared
a bird hit the sky
and nobody cared
in the middle of the night
I am longing for the day
when somebody comes to get me
and we just sail away
in the middle of a dream
I wonder if I'm awake
if anybody understands
send a message for goodness sake
on an island
in a sky full of birds
must be a cloud
maybe wings are on my words
what I'm seeing
is beyond the realm of pain
not heaven or hell
nothing I can explain
on an island
in a place I don't know
is anybody home?
where did everybody go?
what I'm feeling
could it be the same
as the smoke from the fire
from this place without a name
oh could it be the same
in the place you stay
in a universe of wonders
on an island far away
in the middle of a laugh
I thought I heard a cry
in the middle of hello
I thought I heard good bye
in the middle of a love
I thought I felt a pain
in the middle of the middle
I thought I was just insane
on an island
in an ocean of tears
I am waiting
long has been many years
in the spring time
of my hope and wish and dream
the only touch I feel
is a sun or moon beam
on an island
in a sea of empty stares
I am waiting
for the one who cares
are you pretending
that you are not just like me?
what's the difference
dreaming is reality
oh could it be the same
oh have your eyes ever seen
a raindrop hides the sun
do you know what I mean?
in the middle of a life
the questions run so deep
how could anyone not care
how could anyone get sleep
in the middle of a thought
I must have lost my mind
what did I hope to say?
what did I hope to find?
on an island
in the middle of nowhere
I long for more
I long for friends
in the middle
of whatever we do here
the storm blows over
the song just ends
On An Island
(In The Middle)
