Iona - The Island

History: Joanne: "This song was written just a few weeks after the first Iona song titled "Iona". I was just beginning a journey of discovering Iona, its history, its message and this song was born out of those early days of learning." Lyrics: See, the sun is rising A day is dawning on the Island See, the boats are leaving With their treasure from the Island Sail against the spirits of the age Write across the page of history Through the veil of darkness time will tell The power of The Word to set you free Break the chains on this land Free the spirit of man Break the chains on this land Free the spirit of man See, the sun is rising And the light, it is revealing Hearts that join in union Hands that join in healing Sail across the waters that divide Write across the page of history Move into a land that cannot hide From the power of the Holy Trinity Break the chains on this land Free the spirit of man Break the chains on this land Free the spirit of man
