Natalie Cole

When will we know love?

When will we listen to heaven above?

And how will we return?

Someone said that we've been tempting fate

But I believe this song just wouldn't come if it's too late.



Chorus:

When will we see a light upon the ocean.

Shining like a star

That leads us ever onward

There's a new world waiting

When will we see rebirth

This Island Earth



Maybe our moment is gone

Maybe we've stood and watched

A moment too long

So why do I believe?

Someone said

That the truth's too much to take

But tell me how we can face it

If we only want to look the other way



Chorus



To a new beginning

Shine for all it's worth

This Island Earth



Why, what will we say to the angry child,

Try to explain away her fears while we're crying burning tears

Maybe it's time to cry the tear that matters



Chorus



Oh as we sail

Through the stars

We're alive on this island of ours
