If I could be an island at the edge of the sea
I would be a light
I'd weather every hurricane and heartbreak or grief
And I would greet the tide, and all the sailboats passing by
If I could be the streetlight at the edge of your street
I would be so bright
And shadows would be dancing, playing tricks through the leaves
Cheering up the night as you slowly close your eyes
But it's hard to read the signs
When so many things you leave between the lines
If I could be an army on the edge of defeat
I would beam with pride
Cause even though we were scared, we still stood on our feet
And we would greet the fight holding our heads high
But it's hard to be a light
Always cheering up the light
And it's hard to read the signs
When so many things you leave between the lines
If I could be an island at the edge of the sea
I would be alive
And I would greet the seagulls that would come to visit me
And I would be a light through all the changes in my life
