Islands - John Denver

Islands call out to me

Like the highlands that I always see

In my dreams of home

I am never alone when I am there

Islands like so many dreams

Are like canyons but off the main stream

And there’s no one there

The dreamer is always alone

And the mighty blue ocean

Keeps rolling on every shore

Like the spirit that binds us together

We are so much more than islands

Islands belong to the sea

Like the dark sands of my memory

When the morning comes

They are stepping stones to the sun

And the mighty blue ocean

Keeps rolling on every shore

Like the spirit that binds us together

We are so much more than islands
