lyrics

I dreamed this morning, floating on a cloud in blue island skies.
Sailing and soaring - heading into harbor on this paradise.
Awakening I find a sleeping state of mind
Life's rarely what it seems - so why not live the dream?

Chorus:
We are all in this together on this island in the sky.
In sunny or stormy weather - we can make it if we try.

Sailor take warning - floating on a cloud in blue island skies
Sailing and soaring - you're headed for some trouble on this paradise
That dreamer state of mind is not the common kind
And on that common ground some are gonna try to shoot you down

Chorus

Bridge:
From suburbs and skyscrapers to the villages and towns
We all drink the same water - we walk the same ground
We have lived on this island since our birth
Home sweet home - Island Earth!

I dreamed this morning - floating on a cloud in blue island skies
Sailing and soaring - heading toward some heaven on this paradise
The island wakes to find our dreams are ties that bind
Our voices all belong here in this dreaming song

Chorus twice

Tag:
We can make it if we try. We can make it if we try. We can make it!
