Island
Title : I Will Not Die
I'm not an island
I am a mountain
Deep within me
A raging waterfall
They may climb over me
Put flags above me
Deep down I know
I will not die
I look up to the sky
Every night & day
After the rain
I still remain
The clouds may hover
Over me
The wind may howl
At my face
Deep down I know
I will not die
My strength & courage
Are tall like the trees
No storm can hold me down
No matter how hard they try
For I know in my heart
I will not die
