"The Island" from Iona
by Iona
Released in 1990 Track: 3 / Time: 5:10
History:
Joanne: "This song was written just a few weeks after the first Iona song titled "Iona". I was just beginning a journey of discovering Iona, its history, its message and this song was born out of those early days of learning."

Lyrics:

See, the sun is rising
A day is dawning on the Island
See, the boats are leaving
With their treasure from the Island

Sail against the spirits of the age
Write across the page of history
Through the veil of darkness time will tell
The power of The Word to set you free

Break the chains on this land
Free the spirit of man
Break the chains on this land
Free the spirit of man

See, the sun is rising
And the light, it is revealing
Hearts that join in union
Hands that join in healing

Sail across the waters that divide
Write across the page of history
Move into a land that cannot hide
From the power of the Holy Trinity

Break the chains on this land
Free the spirit of man
Break the chains on this land
Free the spirit of man
