Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Man Is an Island , by - Emmylou Harris. Song from the album Light of the Stable, in the genre КантриMan Is an Island |
| Man is an island: sadly adrift |
| Wand’ring forever, while continents shift |
| He came out of nowhere, no shirt on his back |
| Armed for survival, no plan of attack… |
| He went to the mountain, he went to the sea; |
| He cried for protection, but begged to be free |
| He fell on that mountain, he drowned in the sea -- |
| Blind to the order, death to the harmony |
| Nature’s his rival, nature’s his friend; |
| In the beginning there was no end |
| God is his island -- He made the sun |
| Nature, mankind as one… |
| Man is an island: sadly adrift |
| Wand’ring forever, while continents shift |
| God is his island -- He made the sun |
| Nature, mankind as one |
| God is his island -- He made the light! |
| Man on his island waits for the end of night |
| In the beginning there was no end… |
