Island of Sorrows

[Verse] Beneath the palms where the warm winds blow, Where the ocean whispers tales of woe, Our island's beauty hides the tears, As conflict shattered all the years. [Verse 2] Barefoot paths we used to roam, Now tread in silence, far from home, The village square where laughter rang, Left silent by a broken gang. [Chorus] Exiled from our paradise, Lost to the waves, at a heavy price, No more children’s songs at night, In the Island of Sorrows, heart's delight. [Verse 3] Fires burned where flowers bloomed, Joy replaced with tales of gloom, Mountains high that kissed the sky, Now cradle dreams where spirits lie. [Bridge] Echoes of a time so free, Haunt the hearts of you and me, In the distance, freedom calls, But we remember the island's falls. [Verse 4] Beneath the stars, a distant shore, We dream of days that are no more, Each grain of sand a memory, Of a land where we were free.
