Lyrics
I met this one-eyed man on the sands of St. John
He was shaking a maraca and singing to the sun
He was an reggae poet and a barefoot preacher
He told me some good news for the people to believe in
A message wrapped in a steelpan melody
He swayed his head and sang it eloquently
Life's an island state of mind
Like a Caribbean sunrise
Every moment is a gift from on high
So always hold on to your smile
Have faith that no matter where you are
You can carve out your own paradise
If you believe
Life's an island state of mind
Head south and let the Trade Winds blow your hair
The sailboat on the horizon is like a postcard prayer
Trust me, you can get here from there
I did it once from Texas sitting in my chair
Life's an island state of mind
Like a Caribbean sunrise
Every moment is a gift from on high
So always hold on to your smile
Have faith that no matter where you are
You can carve out your own paradise
If you believe
Life's an island state of mind
Put some salt on your glass and squeeze a lime
Let go of every little thing
Take a little time to listen to the birds sing
Life's an island state of mind
Like a Caribbean sunrise
Every moment is a gift from on high
So always hold on to your smile
Have faith that no matter where you are
You can carve out your own paradise
If you believe
Life's an island state of mind
