Man Is an Island Songtext
von Emmylou Harris
Man Is an Island Songtext
Man is an island, sadly adrift
Wandering forever, while continents shift
He came out of nowhere, no shirt on his back
Armed for survival, no plan of attack
He went to the mountain, he went to the sea
He cried for protection, but begged to be free
He fell on that mountain, he drowned in the sea
Blind to the order, death to the harmony
Nature′s his rival, nature's his friend
In the beginning there was no end
God is his island, He made the sun
Nature, mankind as one
Man is an island, sadly adrift
Wandering forever, while continents shift
God is his island, He made the sun
Nature, mankind as one
God is his island, He made the light
Man on his island waits for the end of night
In the beginning there was no end
Wandering forever, while continents shift
He came out of nowhere, no shirt on his back
Armed for survival, no plan of attack
He went to the mountain, he went to the sea
He cried for protection, but begged to be free
He fell on that mountain, he drowned in the sea
Blind to the order, death to the harmony
Nature′s his rival, nature's his friend
In the beginning there was no end
God is his island, He made the sun
Nature, mankind as one
Man is an island, sadly adrift
Wandering forever, while continents shift
God is his island, He made the sun
Nature, mankind as one
God is his island, He made the light
Man on his island waits for the end of night
In the beginning there was no end
