Introduction :

Would it not be nice to live in a place where no one can order you around or tell you what to do?

Would it not be nice to live in a place where no one pokes their nose in your business?

Would it not be nice to live in a place where you are never judged for your facial features, height, weight, intelligence or anything else?

Would it not be nice to live in a place where only the ones close to you are there?

But sadly such a place does not exist.

However, it would be nice if we could build a place like this, would it not? These lyrics are about building such a utopian island.

“Let’s build an island”

(Verse-1)
Low key,
Hidden from their judging eyes.
Somewhere they can’t see,
Somewhere they can’t coat truth with lies.

(Chorus)
Let’s build an island-
Just our own very space.
Let’s build a place
Where we can vanish without a trace.
Let’s build an island
Where there ain’t no accusing hand.

(Verse-2)
Palm trees,
Sand coating the bottom of our legs
No hat, no sunscreen,
No one to tell us how to enjoy.

(Chorus)
Let’s build an island-
Just our own very space.
Let’s build a place
Where we can vanish without a trace.
Let’s build an island
Where there ain’t no accusing hand.

(Bridge)
No one, no one
No one there to
Judge and tell us what to do.

No one, no one (Remote island)
No one, no one (No lies)
No one, no one (Kindness)
Except you and I.
