Heaven Was An Island

The skies were blue and gentle

The sands were soft and fine

And when you'd finally spent all, baby

You total cost was time

Heaven was an island

Where anger was a crime

The seas were calm and steady

The trees and flowers bowed

To breezes ever ready

To cool the heated brow

Heaven was an island

That couldn't happen now

Your father's name was freedom

Your mother's name was peace

And if one day you need 'em, honey

You'll find them not with ease

For heaven is an island

Our leaders say must cease
