Island
Jerusha Rai Lyrics

First came the rain
The rain fell first, and it washed away my sins.

It washed my sins away
The rain cleansed me of my sins.

Then came the breeze
After the rain, the breeze blew.

It had me begging please
The breeze was strong, and made me feel small and weak.

The came the earth
Then the earth appeared.

He said, "the devil's got my soul"
The singer feels that something has taken hold of him.

Now come the fire
Finally, fire arrives.

That will swallow me whole
The artist feels that the fire will consume them entirely.

I walked off the land
The artist walks away from the land.

Walked right off the shore
They continue walking until they reach the shoreline.

I swam to an island
The singer swims to an island.

Where i built my home
They build a home on the island.

And when she passed by
Someone passes by the singer.

She sensed that something was wrong
The passerby can tell that something is amiss.

She thought i had an inking
She believes that the singer has an idea of what to do.

Of what path we should be on
She thinks the idea is related to the path they should be following.

And though i might claim
Even if the artist claims something.

That i came a long way
That they have been on a long journey.

Through heaven and through hell
That they have gone through good times and bad.

Please and thanks i did say
The artist expresses gratitude for their journey.

I ran to the land
The artist runs towards the land.

Where i built my home
They return to the place where they built their home.

I swam to an island
They return to the island they once swam to.

Where i built my home
They return to the same home they built on the island.

I swam to an island
The singer swam to the island once again.

Where i built my home
They once again arrive at the home they built on the island.
