VERSE 1
********
D Bm
Islands, from the first time we saw
G D
We could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore
Bm
We can never be closer, somehow
G D
For the moment that lasts, is this moment now
-------------------------------------------------------------------
BRIDGE
*******
D G A D
When the night's on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning
G A
Hold on to your heart's desire, (When the night's on fire)
D G A D
When you see one bird into the wind, another one's turning
G A
And the two can fly much higher
-------------------------------------------------------------------

We are islands but never too far

We are islands

VERSE 2
********
D Bm
Islands, never been to before
G D
And we climb so high to where the wild birds soar
Bm
There's a new path that we found just today
G D
I was lost in the forest and you showed me the way
-------------------------------------------------------------------
