[Spoken Vocal]
No hurry…
Well, maybe a little hurry…
But the island has its own way.
So… what do you say…
(Rush!)
[Refrain]
Rush (to the new day)
In an island sort of way
Rush (to dance in play)
On an island… stay the day
[Verse 1]
Morning breaks across the bay
Golden light begins the day
Barefoot walking, warm and slow
Where we’re headed, we don’t know
Ocean rhythm, island beat
Sun above and sand beneath
Catch the breeze and let it sway
There’s another kind of way
[Pre-Chorus]
Rush
(But take your time)
Move
(And catch the rhyme)
Go
(But don’t forget)
Feel
(The moment yet)
[Chorus]
Rush to the new day
(In an island sort of way)
Rush to dance and play
(On an island, stay the day)
Let the water
(Wash away)
All the hurry
(Of yesterday)
Find the rhythm
(Find the sway)
Rush
(In an island sort of way)
[Verse 2]
Palm trees bending in the breeze
Salt air drifting from the seas
Someone’s laughing down the shore
Maybe that’s what mornings are for
Music coming from afar
Sunlight dancing like a star
Nothing here needs quite the pace
Of the world we left in place
[Instrumental]
[Acoustic Guitar Solo: Bright Island Strumming, Steel Guitar Accents, Congas, Bass, Loose Drums]
[Bridge]
Island way
(Island day)
Come along
(Stay and play)
No need rushing
(But we rush)
No need pushing
(Feel the gush)
Ocean rolls
(We roll too)
Round the bend
(Into blue)
[Breakdown]
[Percussion, Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Handclaps]
Rush…
To the new day…
Dance…
And play…
Stay…
and sway…
[Final Refrain]
Rush (to the new day)
In an island sort of way
Rush (to dance in play)
On an island… stay the day
[Final Chorus]
Rush to the new day
(In an island sort of way)
Rush to dance and play
(On an island, stay the day)
Feel the rhythm
(Feel the tide)
Let the island
(Be your guide)
Rush
(But don’t run away)
Take your time
(And stay the day)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Acoustic Guitar, Steel Guitar, Tropical Percussion, Warm Organ, Bass, Drums Fade]
Island way…
Island day…
Rush…
To the new day…
Dance…
And play…
Stay the day.
