Lyrics

[00:08.56] So you come to my world, I can show you
[00:16.45] Where they lead to the footprints in the sand.
[00:22.84] On the paths through the valleys and canyons,
[00:30.70] To the veins in your arm, take my hand.
[00:37.14] I m the man on the rocks on the island.
[00:44.77] The black pearl, the fool on the hill.
[00:51.40] I m the gold at the end of the rainbow.
[00:58.89] If I ask you to follow, you will.
[01:06.00] So you come to my world to find freedom.
[01:13.04] Give you wings to the stars, you can fly.
[01:19.94] Bring you hope and a dream to believe in
[01:27.13] As you float through the dark, crimson sky.
[01:34.08] I m the man on the rocks on the island,
[01:41.26] The jewel in the crown of the king.
[01:47.60] I m the hope in the hearts of the helpless,
[01:56.01] The choir where no-one will sing.
[02:02.88] There s a trail out of the canyon,
[02:09.14] There s a new life waiting out there!
[02:16.43] It ll take you home, out of this chasm,
[02:23.52] Where there s blue sky sunlight to share.
[02:30.65] So you come to my world to escape it all,
[02:38.01] And you re running from the dragons and the fools!
[02:44.65] Through the dark, empty caverns deep in your soul,
[02:52.75] Chasing the tiger, the jewels.
[02:59.85] I m the the man on the rocks on the island.
[03:06.62] I m the beggar, the loser, the cheat!
[03:13.04] So now you come to the gates for redemption,
[03:20.61] With a ball and chain at your feet.
[03:27.85] There s a trail out of the canyon,
[03:34.57] There s a new life waiting out there!
[03:41.92] It ll take you home, out of this chasm,
[03:48.74] Where there s blue sky, sunlight to share!
[03:58.21] I m the the man on the rocks on the island.
[04:33.86] I m the the man on the rocks on the island.
[04:45.82] I m the the man on the rocks on the island.
[05:28.25] I m the the man on the rocks on the island.
