I'm an islander But I'm away from my island So I am the only island here I keep on screaming and You can tell me you hear me but You don’t even know what I am I cried on my birthday as I described my pain but No one there could understand I'm an islander My land’s been colonized I'm an islander I won’t be patronized I'm shimanchu By those who can’t see past my eyes I'm an islander Don’t you call my island paradise I'm an islander Your silence disturbs me I'm an islander Your absense perturbs me I'm shimanchu And now I know exactly where you stand I'm an islander I don’t need you, I don’t need I'm an islander But I'm away from my island So I am the only island here
