Tony Norwell - Beautiful Island lyrics

Beautiful Island Beautiful island - though yet I don't know you - Your friends round the world, now, all of them tell; Though still I've not yet set - one foot down upon you - I've seen and heard so much - I might just as well. Beautiful island, oh beautiful island - May peace come unto you - swift as can be; Beautiful island, oh beautiful island - May all of the world - then - stand up and see! Beautiful island, you've shaken with sadness - And scattered your children to far away lands. And though they may now have - their new friends around them - They still long for your people - to stand up and shake hands. Beautiful island, you're now so much to me; So many I've known have called you their home. Please dry all your tears now and stop the blood flowing - And let no more of your children - leave you on your own. EJNW-1990104-0127
