1
Man is an island: sadly adrift,
2
Wand'ring forever, while continents shift.
3
He came out of nowhere, no shirt on his back,
4
Armed for survival, no plan of attack...
5
He went to the mountain, he went to the sea;
6
He cried for protection, but begged to be free.
7
He fell on that mountain, he drowned in the sea --
8
Blind to the order, death to the harmony.
9
Nature's his rival, nature's his friend;
10
In the beginning there was no end.
11
God is his island -- He made the sun,
12
Nature, mankind as one...
13
Man is an island: sadly adrift,
14
Wand'ring forever, while continents shift.
15
God is his island -- He made the sun,
16
Nature, mankind as one.
17
God is his island -- He made the light!
18
Man on his island waits for the end of night.
19
In the beginning there was no end...
