You are the garden in my heart
And I know of many a place to go
With no walls and high up spaces
Just these cliffs

You are the ground on which I stand
And I know there's only so far to run
When our dreams and all this fury
Wish these waves would crush right through me

Hold me up, I'm treading the water
Hold me up, I'm out of it all

Cause I'm not small, I'm an islander
Keep my head above the water
Salt in my eye, the ocean's daughter
Cry my tears for the island, oh
Hey ya
Hey ya

So far, the garden was
But I fear we'll see a new frontier
With their guns and concrete problems
They wait here for a bomb to solve them
