Оригинален текст
In this great city, you dont hear church bells ring
Everybody dances, but nobody sings
And in the winter, theres never snow on the round
As I look out my window at the rivers of black
I wanna get out on the at highway and never come back
I set and wonder, has it all passed me by
Islands in the sky
Skyscr*per temples way above the clouds
And a streetcorner preacher, shoutin out loud
Nobody listens, and nobody cares
But everybody needs a dream
Everybody needs and island in the sky
Chorus:
Islands in the sky, Islands in the sky
Make a young boys dreams, make an old man cry
Islands in the sky, Islands in the sky
(Repeat Chorus)
Someday Ill be there, I just dont know when
Its so far away now, but it wont be then
I dont know, I dont know
But everybody needs a dream
Everybody needs and island in the sky
(Repeat Chorus)
