When will we know love   When will we listen to heaven above   And how will we return?   Someone said that we've been tempting fate   But I believe this song just wouldn't come if it's too late      When will we see a light upon the ocean   Shining like a star that leads us ever onward   There's a new world waiting when will we see rebirth   This island earth      Maybe our moment is gone, maybe we've stood   And watched a moment too long so why do I believe?   Someone said, that the truth's too much to take   But tell me how we can face it   If we only want to look the other way      When will we see a light upon the ocean   Shining like a star that leads us ever onward   There's a new world waiting when will we see rebirth   This island earth      To a new beginning   Shine for all it's worth   This island earth      Why, what will we say to the angry child   Try to explain away her fears while we're crying burning tears   Maybe it's time to cry the tear that matters      When will we see a light upon the ocean   Shining like a star that leads us ever onward   There's a new world waiting when will we see rebirth   This island earth      Oh, as we sail through the stars   We're alive on this island of ours
