[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 tyrin' to survive it
Lookin' for dry land
Every heart is an island

[Verse 2]
Silverlinin' is 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
The pretty and a picture when times are good
Cars and boats are just on loan
Our house is just sticks and stones

[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 tyrin' to survive it
Lookin' for dry land
Every heart is an island

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 tyrin' to survive it
Lookin' for dry land
Every heart is an island
Every heart is an island
