except for the dream in our mothers' eyes
you and I would still ride the wind
a pair of seeds that no one needs
east of all souls island
this land, souls island,
this land, souls island,
will always be the heart of you and me
souls island

except for the gleam in our fathers' eyes
you and I would have never been
we'd never lay in this purple shade
never known souls island
this land, souls island,
this land, souls island,
will always be the heart of you and me
souls island

except for the beam from some god's mind
you and I would have never seen
the diamond morn' where peace was born
on a place we named souls island
this land, souls island,
this land, souls island,
will always be the heart of you and me
souls island

this land, this souls island,
this land, this souls island,
will always be the heart of you and me
souls islan
