Islands in Time - Islands of Mine (larry W Jones 07/02/2002) (song #011)
 
Islands in time - these islands of mine 
I wonder as I dream of islands in time, these islands of mine 
Just when did you arise from blue oceans deep and wide?
When first did rainbows shine upon valleys so sublime?
And majestic bays like sparkling wine in this paradise betide?

Islands in time - these islands of mine 
I dream of time when sails first appeared on your horizon.
Battered by the storms the long canoes paddled onward.
Through pounding surf and reef to lagoon of quiet waters.
I heard the chieftan say, there is room for all our brothers.

Islands in time - these islands of mine 
Far from Tahiti we have roamed to Havaiki our new home
The canoe has come...
