When will we know love

When will we listen to heaven above

And how will we return

Someone said that we've been tempting fate

But I believe this song just wouldn't come if it's too late

When will we see a light upon the ocean

Shining like a star

That leads us ever onward

There's a new world waiting

When will we see rebirth

This Island Earth

Maybe our moment is gone

Maybe we've stood and watched

A moment too long

So why do I believe

Someone said

That the truth's too much to take

But tell me how we can face it

If we only want to look the other way

When will we see a light upon the ocean

Shining like a star

That leads us ever onward

To a new beginning

Shine for all it's worth

This Island Earth

Why  what will we say to the angry child

Try to explain away her fears while we're crying burning tears

Maybe it's time to cry the tear that matters

When will we see a light upon the ocean

Shining like a star

That leads us ever onward

To a new beginning

When will we see rebirth

This Island Earth

When will we see

Oh as we sail

Through the stars

We're alive on this island of ours

Oh as we sail

Through the stars

We're alive on this island of ours

Oh as we sail

Through the stars

We're alive on this island of ours
