[Verse] Ive got the island on my mind as I drive And a certain way of thinking that I feel we left behind Before you say whos got it right Before you tell me that Im wrong Theres a lot to be said about knowing where you come from [Verse] Im not talking about religion but something buried in our blood And maybe the emotions of past generations still course through my pulse And when the living clear their houses The bibles were buried not burned Theres a lot to be said about knowing where you come from [Chorus] Scientists on their TV sets say were all the descendants of stars Born in a fiery furnace somewhere far across the universe Well I find it hard to join the dots between me and the light of the sun But theres a lot to be said about knowing where you come from [Verse] And a cascade of memories might flash past my eyes As we think of changing and shutting the front door for the final time Sometimes we put roots down And sometimes they get torn up And theres a lot to be said about knowing where you come from [Chorus] Scientists on their TV sets say were all the descendants of stars Born in a fiery furnace somewhere far across the universe Well I find it hard to join the dots between me and the light of the sun Yeah theres a lot to be said about knowing where you come from Scientists on their TV sets say were all the descendants of stars Born in a fiery furnace somewhere far across the universe Well I find it hard to join the dots between me and the light of the sun Theres a lot to be said about knowing where you come from Theres a lot to be said about knowing where you come from Theres a lot to be said about knowing where you come from
