We sail on endless waters
Inside a jar that floats along the sea
Reciting to our sons and daughters
Songs among the breeze in a song among the breeze

We only are our islands
Enlivened by the promise to the trees
All nourishing solemnly
Into eternity

[Instrumental]

We stand in turbulent symmetry
In thanks to glimpse at peace

We only are our islands
We only are our islands
We only are our islands

Rise, shine, open eyes
Soak in the sounds
Hear them outpour
In your hands as water from the creaking faucet trickles down

Rise, shine
Aim your aching limbs upright!
I don’t deserve to feel it
I don’t deserve to fear it
Don’t glorify
[Instrumental]

And we only are
We are on fire

Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
