Lyrics
On My Island
words & music by Kyle D. Walker
©1991 Kyle D. Walker
Standing on my island
Only lonely hearts can know the pain that comes from isolated feeling
No man is an island
Still I see so painfully unbroken gray horizon all around me
My question is drowned in the crash of the waves:
Is there power in love?
Is there such a fire?
Turning once more for the dark of the cave
When deep within me I hear a voice that cries:
Chorus:
There is another way
There is a better way
You don't have to hide your love behind walls
Give your heart away
Give your love away
Just remember the cross and its call
Standing on my island
I can see I'm only free when I allow God's love to flow within me
So I must leave my island
If I'm to live, then I must give and leave my own self-pity far behind me
Now shouting it over the crash of the waves
There's power in love
There is such a fire
Driving me far from the dark of my cave
To the shores of lonely people
Where I'll stand and say:
Chorus
Love the hurt away, love the hurt away
Leave the pain to yesterday
Love the hurt away
Jesus blood washes all away
