My Island
Verse 1
When I was just a young boy my mother said to me
There's no work here for your father but there are jobs across the sea
So I packed up all my memories and my tattered little bear
And as we started 'cross the ocean, my father said this prayer

Chorus
So when my time on earth has come and gone
Take me back where I belong
Set my ashes free to fly the ocean winds
And when they've landed on the shore
They'll be far away no more
From the rolling green island I call home

Verse 2
When I'd become a grown man with a family of my own
I'd taught them the traditions of the place I call my home
We're proud of where we come from even though a lot has changed
Though not always for the better, but it's where my heart remains

Chorus

Verse 3
Now that I'm an old man and my hair is turning white
All the strength has left my hands, each breath seems like a fight
But I live inside my memories of mountains, streams and trees
And those dreams are what carry me to my eternal sleep

Chorus
