I Am Not An Island
by Tamara K Gross
Contrary to mass opinion I am not an island
Though there may be those who say I'm strong
I have a weakness
And I don't want to be the one who gives and never takes
I don't want to live anymore
Sweeping up my heart off the floor
There are times I just can't ignore the pain
When I hear your voice on the phone
Then I know I'm never alone
Gotta know you're there for me everyday
& just in case you did not hear please let me make this clear
Contrary to mass opinion you are not an island
Though there may be those who say you're strong
You have a weakness
And I don't want to be the one who takes and never gives
You don't want to live anymore
Sweeping up your heart off the floor
There are times you just can't ignore the pain
When you hear my voice on the phone
Then you know you're never alone
Gotta know I'm there for you everyday
There's no need to live anymore
Sweeping up our hearts off the floor
There are times we just can't ignore the pain
When we hear His voice in our hearts
Then we know we're never apart
From the love of God who will never depart
& just in case you did not hear please let me make this clear
Contrary to mass opinion we are not just islands
