Here on my island, I find myself alone
Cut off from the world and cast away
All around the sea is closing in
To wash away the life of yesterday
On the horizon, where I can never go
I see a ship go sailing by
And all I can do is stare
But I know that someone is out there
And so we wait; ever still; so we all stand by
Life on hold; solitude; a world pacified
Paralysed; a dormant state; everything on ice
Wasting time, waiting to resume this frozen life
Here on my island, every day's the same
I am drawn back to the shore
How I long to cross the water
To venture out there and explore
And so we wait; ever still; so we all stand by
Life on hold; in suspense; a world pacified
Paralysed; a dormant state; everything on ice
Wasting time, waiting to resume this frozen life
A candle in a jar: a flame that can't be free
A captive fire, burning hopefully
Ever reaching out, never losing heart
Always casting its light out into the dark
And so we wait; ever still; so we all stand by
Life on hold; in suspense; a world pacified
Paralysed; a dormant state; everything on ice
Wasting time, waiting to resume this frozen life
