Lyrics Christopher Cross – Island Of Anger

It’s a beautiful world
Filled with stupid people
Beating each other’s brains out
Like the cavemen did

Oh don’t I know
This ain’t no way to live
When everything I see and hear
Makes me mad
And there’s no silver lining
The stuff that doesn’t get me angry
Makes me sad

Hard to believe I’m not a kid
Hard to believe the things I did
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
Wondering now why I’m not free
Wondering how I came to be
An island of anger in a sea of love

And love rules
This much I understand
But all the ones who live for peace die for it
Still somehow that message comes
And every day I struggle to decipher it

Younger by half
I was quick to laugh
Hopeful and alive to what might come
Where’s my spark
Skies so dark

Hard to believe the time’s so short
Hard to believe I’m still in port
Dying to set a different sort of course
Wondering now how I’ll get free
And how to become a refugee
From an island of anger
In a sea of love
