Lyrics

The Island

Come to the Island, where everybody will be
And you'll find me there
living simple and free
under the willow, Where all the pineapples grow
We'll be together forever and forever more
VERSE 1
I was caught by a sparrow
When he came to my house the other day
He told me things
hit me down to the marrow
I just had to catch myself catch myself and turn away
PRE CHORUS
he told me stories
stories I could never tell
he told deeply I was going straight to hell
he told me sweetly and succinctly as well
I was going to hell x2
CHORUS
VERSE 2
I was caught by a sparrow when he came into my heart and changed my life
He told me things that would change my tomorrow
If I only took the time took the time
to look inside
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
RAP
As I walk into the shadow of death and darkness
I touch my self and feel I'm heartless
It's obvious apart from this I feel amiss
Amidst the sinners of this evil abyss
But I am one of them I carry each and every trait
Of every encounter; meet them at the pearly gates
Where there's a bouncer; Who'll be sending me straight down
Hey now don't I get to state my case?
Ok fine I'm not an angel but I have a clue
A man's fibres construed of all the things he do
Not just the things he preach and
Litter in the street, No 50" inch screen on my pastor's TV
It's easy to see that a good deed breaks the chain
We may fall but we get back up again
You can turn it change up the life of a sinner take the
Shackles off your feet and walk out a winner

And to the island to secretly I go
And I'll be there wait for me at the show
I will be chilling with those people down
The way
I can't go to hell
I can't go to hell
CHORUS
