[Verse 1] Bare feet on the boardwalk Salt on my skin Carry my worry Let the tide take it in One hand on the railing One hand on faith I have been breaking Now I am awake [Pre-Chorus] Mm, hear the drum roll slow Mm, let the old pain go I been down, down low Now I rise with the flow [Chorus] Island state of mind We gon' be alright Island state of mind Step into the light We leave it behind We leave it behind Island state of mind We gon' be alright [Verse 2] Storm clouds came heavy Bent down my tree Still the roots held steady Deep in the sea I lost my direction I lost my name Then I found my power Riding the wave [Pre-Chorus] Mm, hear the drum roll slow Mm, let the old pain go I been down, down low Now I rise with the flow [Chorus] Island state of mind We gon' be alright Island state of mind Step into the light We leave it behind We leave it behind Island state of mind We gon' be alright [Bridge] Take what was broken And make it gold Heart like a conch shell Strong and bold No chain can hold me No fear can stay I got my sisters And I got my way [Chorus] Island state of mind We gon' be alright Island state of mind Step into the light We leave it behind We leave it behind Island state of mind We gon' be alright [Outro] Mm, we rise Mm, we shine Island state of mind All the time
