We live on an island where
Peace is a dream
We never want to awaken
For when we do
Affection is only a reflection
Smiles are kept under the table
Guns are over the counter
Violence is a cloud that covers happiness
And all day we are followed
By the shadows of our doing
Until we retire for the day
And our dreams of peace and harmony return
To comfort us until tomorrow
