I'm going to an island,
Where the sun will always shine,
Where the moon is always riding on the sea,
And when I go I'll leave behind,
These chains that hold me down,
The time has come to set my spirit free,
I I I I will,
And there beside a mountain stream,
I'll build a house of stone,
And work the wood of cedar, pine and fir,
And then I'll make a garden,
And I'll plant a field of corn,
Press my hands deep into mother earth,
I I I I will,
Oh, yes I will,
Just to be a part of nature once again,
And I will
And then I'll teach my children love,
Like every father should,
For we are part of every living thing,
And speak of half-forgotten words,
Like peace and joy and good,
For the world can only live when love can sing,
I I I I will,
Oh, yes I will,
And they will be a part of nature once again,
And they will feel a part of nature once again, the time is now,
Just to be a part of nature once again,
And I will,
I, I, someday I will
