Take your children down to the water wash their heads and
sing .. holy holy
Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong and
tall beside me.
All my life ... behind me.
You gently took me by my hand and led me to where
I couldn`t see,but where I`ve always been ... an island.
In my dreams I`ve been an island ...
where I`m all alone, and I`ve built these walls stone by
stone.
I want to leave but I don`t know where to go.
I`ve tried the best I can, but it`s hard to be a man and
feel the way you feel.
I`m different on the inside. I`ve tried to give to you
what you need to get you through.
I`ll always be ... beside you.
The day you were born I held you ... small and helpless
crying, your life and mine entwining.
As I looked into your eyes I saw myself in an overview,
reaching out to you from this island in the sea.
I don`t want to be an island.
I`ve tried the best I can, but it`s hard to be a man and
feel the way you feel.
I`m different on the inside.
