Islands
Mike Oldfield feat. Bonnie Tyler Lyrics

Islands, from the first time we saw,
From the moment we first saw these islands,

We could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore.
We patiently waited for this moment, just like rocks do on the shore.

We can never be closer, somehow,
Somehow, we can never be any closer than we are now.

For the moment that lasts, is this moment now.
The moment that truly matters is the one we're in right now.

When the night's on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning?
During the intense and difficult times, will you continue to provide hope and light?

Hold on to your heart's desire. (When the night's on fire)
Hold onto what your heart truly desires, especially during challenging moments.

When you see one bird into the wind, another one's turning,
When one path seems difficult or unfavorable, another opportunity may arise.

And the two can fly much higher.
Together, we can reach greater heights.

We are islands, but never too far,
Though we may be like separate islands, we are never too far apart.

And I need your light tonight,
In this moment, I need your hope and guidance.

Islands, never been to before,
These are islands that we've never visited or experienced previously.

And we climb so high to where the wild birds soar.
Together, we venture to great heights where even wild birds roam free.

There's a new path that we found just today,
Today, we discovered a new path or opportunity.

I was lost in the forest and you showed me the way.
During a time of confusion and lostness, you guided me and provided direction.

And I need your light tonight,
In this moment, I still need your hope and guidance.

We are islands, but never too far,
Just as before, we are like separate islands but remain close together.

And I need your light tonight,
Once again, in this moment, I need your hope and guidance.
