Bali Ha’i
[BLOODY MARY]
Most people live on a lonely island
Lost in the middle of a foggy sea
Most people long for another island
One where they know they will like to be

Bali Ha'i may call you
Any night, any day
In your heart, you'll hear it call you:
"Come away... Come away."

Bali Ha'i will whisper
On the wind of the sea
"Here am I, your special island!
Come to me, come to me!"

Your own special hopes
Your own special dreams
Bloom on the hillside
And shine in the streams

If you try, you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
"Here am I, your special island
Come to me, Come to me."
Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i

Someday you'll see me, floatin' in the sunshine
My head stickin' out from a low-flying cloud
You'll hear me call you, singin' through the sunshine
Sweet and clear as can be:
"Come to me, here am I, come to me..."

If you try, you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
"Here am I, your special island
Come to me, Come to me."

Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i
