From the recording Rise
Lyrics
Why do I got to be such an island...
The only thing that going alone will get you
Is a whole lot of life that's gonna miss you
And I've got to be an island
Why do I got to be such a lonewolf
Well I can prove that I can do it myself, but I'll be
A lot more cold and a lot more hungry
But I've got to be a lonewolf
When I was a child I said "Oh mommy please,
Don't you even think about cutting my meat for me"
And when somebody lends a hand cause I'm dead on my feet I say
"Don't you think that I can walk just as well as anybody?"
Cause I've got to be an island
Yes I've got to be an island
Well I've got to be an island
Yes I've got to be an island
Well I'll hop around for a while and then it's
Right back to my island again
Yeah I'll hop around for a while and then it's
Right back to my island again
