A living island


In the West Atlantic, beyond the
Windward Chain
A living coral island where we can start again

A world gone mad, on the last plane out we flew
There's no one with whom l'd rather brave the storm than you
You're my heart, you're my home
(You'll never have to go it alone)

Is this a paradise or a prison

Approaching ships now I espy
Danger or solution
We hope, we pray
(Day to day)

Never knowing where this crazy world's going
I can pick up the pieces so long as you're right beside me
Here with me

United at risk, divided we must stand
This is the current state of the world we're living in

Unfettered by fear, empowered by the science
Let us learn to be the wiser by this time next year
You're my heart, you're my home
(You'll never have to go it alone)

Is this a paradise or a prison
Approaching ships now I espy
We hope, we pray
Never knowing where this crazy world's going
Just you and me beneath the living island sun
Watching from our hill top the whole world come undone

And the voice of the Mother so loud, so clear
Rebirth, now

Earth rebirth, now!

Are we yet waking up from the nightmare
Are we yet waking up from the nightmare

(How we're ever so shaken up by the nightmare)
A nightmare of fools that pull the levers when the curtain's drawn
And play us as their pawn
Their fear and greed
Undermining every countermeasure

Nation to nation
We're in this together, though together apart in isolation
So here's to you
To the spirit of community
Here'sto us
To our humanity
Here's to the frontline saviors
And the every day heroes unseen
To you with sad spirits
Who mourn dear ones now gone
To their memories
We dedicate this song

And the time will certainly come
Their courageous stories shall be told
As deeply we hold
Hold them in the highest honor
We will remember!

Yes, each courageous story will be told
As deeply we hold
Hold them in the highest honor
In our hearts love
Forevermore

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Yes is a British rock band formed in London in 1968. Considered one of the pillars of progressive rock, they achieved international fame in the 1970s with albums like *Fragile*, *Close to the Edge* and *Going for the One*. Their sound is characterized by musical complexity, the use of orchestral instruments, enveloping melodies and often philosophical lyrics. Among the founding members were Jon Anderson (vocals), Chris Squire (bass), Peter Banks (guitar) and Bill Bruford (drums). Over the years, the lineup has undergone several changes, with the entry of musicians such as Steve Howe (guitar), Rick Wakeman (keyboards) and Alan White (drums). Yes have sold over 30 million records worldwide and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. Some of their most representative songs include *Roundabout*, *Owner of a Lonely Heart* and *Starship Trooper*.
