Here on the distant sunny shore of an island All the troubles of the world seem far away But here, on the broken city streets of the island People work and live and love and struggle every day Here on the Creole speaking side of the island They say "Ou fe twop ti moun deja pa fe pitit anko" Or in the truthful way they have of speaking on the island "You have too many kids already, don't make any more" But love is love, love is love Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou Love is love, love is love Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou Menaj mwe is the finest girl who ever walked this island Even when - especially when - she's walking away Something in her smile let's me believe in tomorrow Even though life is next to impossible today Maybe we won't be in each other's eyes forever Maybe all we can do is hold each other, and say Love is love, love is love Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou Love is love, love is love Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou Rick rides a motorbike through the worst slums of the city The father and the doctor to the poorest of the poor Raising up the future from the rubble of the past Here they say - L'espua fe viv - Hope makes life Love is love, love is love Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou Love is love, love is love Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou Love is love, love is love Love is love - Lanmou se lanmou Here on this island, island of hope Here we are home, lanmou se lanmou
