Man On The Rocks - Mike Oldfield

So you come to my world, I can show you

Where they lead to the footprints in the sand

On the paths through the valleys and canyons

To the veins in your arm, take my hand

I’m the man on the rocks on the island

The black pearl, the fool on the hill

I’m the gold at the end of the rainbow

If I ask you to follow, you will

So you come to my world to find freedom

Give you wings to the stars, you can fly

Bring you hope and a dream to believe in

As you float through the dark, crimson sky

I’m the man on the rocks on the island

The jewel in the crown of the king

I’m the hope in the hearts of the helpless

The choir where no-one will sing

There’s a trail out of the canyon

There’s a new life waiting out there!

It’ll take you home, out of this chasm

Where there’s blue sky sunlight to share.

So you come to my world to escape it all

And you’re running from the dragons and the fools!

Through the dark, empty caverns deep in your soul

Chasing the tiger, the jewels.

I’m the the man on the rocks on the island

I’m the beggar, the loser, the cheat!

So now you come to the gates for redemption

With a ball and chain at your feet

There’s a trail out of the canyon

There’s a new life waiting out there!

It’ll take you home, out of this chasm

Where there’s blue sky, sunlight to share!

I’m the man, on the rocks, on the island x2
