Stranded
On an island in an ocean
Like a fish out of the sea
I am stranded like a shipwreck
With no one to rescue me.
In a desert without water
Dying slowly of my thirst
I am empty in my spirit
With my soul about to burst.
'Neath a sun that shines no warmth
And a sky bereft of star
I have no compass here to guide me
For I don't know where you are.
You have left me by the wayside
You have plunged me to despair
You have torn our bonds asunder
Left my love just standing there.
I don't know where I belong now
I can't navigate alone
There's no place to lay my head now
And no heart to call my home.
I am stranded, I am stranded
Robbed of all my joy and mirth
On an island in an ocean
On this sad and sun-less Earth.
