I saw the sun set on this Island, watched the waves break on it shore
Watched in wonder and in silence, wondered, how can I do more?
More to save the world I love that has loved me in return
More to restore the balance lost, less to let it burn
It may sound grim this little hymn to love and what might be lost
If I keep myself down and a little dim, I won’t have to count the cost
I am awake in the eye of the storm walking the world while it slowly warms
I am awake in while the world is turning to fire and ice burning
Come let us dance, come let us drink, you can take a chance even on the brink
Let us smile, let us laugh, as we walk a while on the heroine’s path,
Sway to the strumming of another guitar, to the beating of the drum, wherever you are
Make a big noise, gotta raise your voice, hopium is the drug of choice
It may sound bleak, to sing or speak of love and what might be lost
Maybe I’ll seek just to stay asleep so I won’t have to count the cost
I saw red poppies glow and sway outside my window yesterday
The World Wars have come and passed and the War for the World has come at last
Now there is no hiding, dark and light dividing,
Hiding’s a choice for darkness, the choice is stark, so start this
It may sound trite and a bit cliched, love and what might be lost
Fight the good fight, anyway, don’t just count the cost
