Lyrics

[00:32.390] How much do I really know?
[00:35.840] How much has it ever shown?
[00:39.790] Of all the stars that shine above or clouds that come and go
[00:47.630] You can ask me all their names,
[00:50.940] but I'm really not sure to claim
[00:55.230] I was born here on this island,
[00:59.180] yet still I cannot say
[01:02.730] But I know deep inside,
[01:06.410] something money could never buy
[01:10.250] All the times that I've cried and the tears that have dried
[01:14.200] It all happened right here under this sky
[01:22.190] So many things are kept in darkness
[01:25.930] In all the textbooks we blindly follow
[01:29.890] No matter what you've heard in the papers
[01:33.600] Believe me, there's more to be seen
[01:38.450] That is the treasure of my home,
[01:42.450] our island dream
[02:02.840] How much do I understand?
[02:06.430] How much do I really see?
[02:10.480] Of all the dying coral and the life under the seas
[02:17.750] How are we to repossess,
[02:21.590] and give breath to what is left?
[02:25.800] You could ask me for solutions,
[02:29.680] still I can't explain
[02:33.030] But I know deep inside,
[02:36.940] something money could never buy
[02:41.040] I can tell in the tides to the waves that I ride
[02:45.720] The ocean is changing before my eyes
[02:53.520] So many things that are never spoken
[02:57.160] On the radio and television
[03:01.110] No matter how clear the pictures appear
[03:04.950] Believe me, there's more to be seen
[03:09.660] That is the treasure of my home,
[03:14.110] our island dream
[03:59.050] How much do I perceive?
[04:02.650] How much there is to be?
[04:06.950] To the words that are sung to these island harmonies
[04:14.710] Tuva Rama lullabies,
[04:18.460] Densa melodies
[04:22.350] I can't even define for you what they really mean
[04:29.800] But I know deep inside,
[04:33.360] something money could never buy
[04:37.400] Of the joy that they bring when we hear them all sing
[04:41.250] While we're dancing through the night until sunrise
[04:48.850] Inside of me I will always cherish
[04:52.950] The memories of the love I've shared
[04:56.750] No matter how far we are apart now,
[05:00.800] my heart is there to stay cause
[05:05.460] That is the treasure of my home, our island dream
