Island


Alone on an island with me, myself and I

And my peace of mind

It's not a lot; it may not seem like much

But every now and then when life gets tough

A little peace of mind is enough

When the tides of life threaten to pull me under

A little peace of mind can truly do wonders

Somedays it's okay to just sit under the shade

Of the trees with the soft sand beneath my feet

With no one or nothing

Just my peace of mind

Giving myself the time to feel the sun shine

Letting it warm up my skin

And allowing myself to really let it sink in

It's easy for me to loose myself in the currents of life

The tides are fast and hard and they pull at my arms and my feet

Trying to make me feel beat, promising a realese

So every now and then the island is just what I need

It's my place of peace

With no one or nothing

Just me myself and I

And my peace of mind
