I believed the shiny stars Were a water sparkle in the sky The eternal ocean state of darkness Was the only universe Nothing's drowsier than the sway In the silence of a wavy bay Nothing's louder than the land That I share with you my dear friend [Chorus] I'm an island child, the pacific dream If you see a lonely seal think of me No given name, no date of birth I'm just a little piece of Earth Oh, oh I'm just a little piece of Earth Oh, oh I'm just a little piece of Earth If you look into my eyes You'll see the farewell to my life You'll be the picture that I'll take with me To the world where I'll be free
Nothing's better than the sun On my skin and the ocean left behind Nothing's softer than the sand Where I'll meet my peaceful end [Chorus] I'm an island child, the pacific dream If you see a lonely seal think of me No given name, no date of birth I'm just a little piece of Earth Oh, oh I'm just a little piece of Earth Oh, oh I'm just a little piece of Earth [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] I'm an island child, the pacific dream If you see a lonely seal think of me No given name, no date of birth I'm just a little piece of Earth Oh, oh I'm just a little piece of Earth Oh, oh I'm just a little piece of Earth
