I have told Tom, Dick, and Harry,
But they will never believe me.
Often I have stood with them and
Have seen darkness surrounding me.
I have cried, "I am an island!"
And they have cried, "Let there be light!"
So with them in the light I stand
Without darkness veiling my sight.
Yet as light gathers around me
I get surrounded by a band -
Encircled by my own shadows,
I am, forever, an island.
