No Man Is An Island Bill Borman When all the answers are coming through We have to make a point to pick and choose As the data accrues, we don't know quite what's true And I don't really know what to do And yeah I'm trying to work out life Just like everybody else alive But all that we've found, is the world is quite round We keep on covering the same old ground And man I'm not really sure how to live life I'm afraid I'm not doing things right And we've been running now for a long time And when you run we all run by your side 'Cause no man is an island No sea is that great And no man can comprehend Everything he breaks No man is an island No sea is that great And no man can understand Everything he's made We dance and the world turns We sing all the words we learn While all of our earnings and yearnings are burning And burning away in time And though the fire surrounds us Sometimes we get up And sometimes we're crawling, but mostly we're falling And I don't know if we can fly We're just trying to live my love So when they write the book they can fill the chapters up And we've been running now for a long time And when you run, love, I'll be by your side 'Cause no man is an island No sea is that great And no man can comprehend Everything he breaks No man is an island No sea is that great And no man can understand Everything he's made But when I see mankind Give up our time To help fellow man, Not for oil and wine When I see mankind Give up our spite And turn from needless sacrifice I think maybe We've been flying All this time
