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.

I´ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through.
I´ll always be... beside you.
