I could be an island
Covered with every sea
Or I could be a grain of sand
Carried upon each breeze
Fall to my knees if I thought it would please
But I let it slip away
I’m looking out for someone
Someone to keep the faith
Today my name is wildest dream
For all who watch the show
And I may change tomorrow
And they would never know
I’d willingly trade
The mistakes I have made
To forgive and not to blame
But I’m looking out for someone
Someone to keep the faith
It’s not time yet
I’m not sure
I’ve not seen this one before
And I know it’s not enough to say I care
And though my mind is open
I feel I’m shutting down
To crawl from all who draw my blood and watch me drown
Faith when it is spoken
Can overflow
Surprise you so
And people can be broken
And I would too
If my faith in you
Should break somebody else’s heart
I could be an island
Covered with every sea
Or I could be a grain of sand
Carried upon each breeze
Fall to my knees if I thought it would please
But I let it slip away
I’m looking out for someone
Someone to keep the faith
Someone to keep the faith
