Islands New & Smoldering

Come up from the bottom
To resurface again
Take another breath of air

Volcanoes creating new land
Balance in an unstable ocean
Gives us a chance

Give us a chance
To learn how to grow
To not repeat the mistakes of the past
Give me a chance
To do it all right
Show you we can make it last

The rock has cooled enough
For us to take our first steps
The water here is warm
We can catch our breath

In my arms I’ll keep you safe
No matter what threatens
To sweep us away

Give us a chance
To learn how to grow
To not repeat the mistakes of the past
Give me a chance
To do it all right
Show you we can make it last

To embark on something new
To move on to something new
Discard your fear
My sweet dear
Discard your fear
And walk with me

Give us a chance to learn and grow
With you there’s so much to know
I look forward to all that is to come
A new island in the middle of this ocean
For you and I
