You and me,

Under the cocoanut tree,

In common unison,

Our day is won.

Living simple lives,

For pearls, we dive.

Just you and me,

In our little house by the sea.

The Sun is our friend,

Plenty of health to lend.

Rocks, plants, trees, all alive,

Nature’s perfection strives.

A part of it, but there’s more,

We are what’s in store.

It’s us my friend,

Beginning to end.

No more danger,

From the stranger.

For, in fact, we are hope,

Helping all of us to cope.

Come in out of the rain,

Sit at the table, drown out pain.

Take a tip from the traveling,

Keep moving and unravelling!

On the little island I find,

Myself, my dreams buried in the sand.

The waves wash across with clean news,

The news is that which we choose.

We choose peace, prosperity and happiness,

On this island all is wonderful bliss.

No confetti, graffiti, consternation or confusion,

Only love, no stress, comfort, the conclusion.

I want all the world to come here,

I want all the people to live without fear,

And as we bask in the pure delight, the whole while,

Always know you can go, whenever you want, to One Day Isle.
