There comes a time in the life of every man,
When you've got to face reality.
Don't you hurt your brother man too much, cos,
No man is an island, no man stands alone.
Go seek your rights,
I don't say you must fight,
But if it ever ever comes to the test,
You must surely, surely, try try your best, cos,
No man is an island, no man stands alone.
Look at the branches they are losing their color,
Watch them as they grow, Lord, each and every hour.
Then if man should fight against man,
You must prepare to give a helping hand, Lord.
No man is an island, no man stands alone.

Go seek your rights, I don't say you must fight.
But if it ever ever ever comes to the test,
You must surely, surely, surely, try and try your best,
cos,
No man is an island, no man stands alone.
No man is an island, no man stands alone.
No man is an island, no man stands alone.
