If my mind was an island
I would be alone and lost
And surrounded by the water
That would drown me at any cost
I would face its stormy weather
And endure its cold and dark
I would struggle with its dangers
And bear its pain and mark
I would see no other islands
And feel no hope or joy
I would hear no friendly voices
And find no comfort or employ
If my mind was an island
I would wish to escape its hold
But I would need some help and guidance
To reach the mainland and be bold
