[Verse 1] We’re all lookin’ for a message here A little wisdom on a souvenir Another bottle with an S.O.S Throw it in the water and pray for the best There ain’t a compass or a northern star That ever really tells us where we are We’re just a shore runnin’ out of sand And reachin’ for a hand [Chorus] Every heart is an island But no one’s alone Ship wrecked in a high wind Tryin’ to find our way home And every tear is an ocean We’re all brothers in a storm And we’re tryin’ to survive it Lookin’ for dry land Every heart is an island [Verse 2] Silver linin’s kinda hard to find When the world stops at the horizon line There ain’t a harbor that you’ll recognize It’s hard to make a wish in an empty sky Boardwalks are just nails and wood They’re pretty in a picture when times are good Cars and boats are just on loan A house is just sticks and stones [Chorus] But every heart is an island But no one’s alone Ship wrecked in a high wind Tryin’ to find our way home And every tear is an ocean We’re all brothers in a storm And we’re tryin’ to survive it Lookin’ for dry land Every heart is an island [Interlude] .  .  . . .   [Chorus] Every heart is an island And no one’s alone Ship wrecked in a high wind Tryin’ to find our way home And every tear is an ocean We’re all brothers in a storm And we’re tryin’ to survive it Lookin’ for dry land Every heart is an island Every heart is an island
