Island of Gold

Verse 1
Out in the water where the oil flows deep,
A small island works while the world won’t sleep.
Kharg in the sunlight, shining so bold,
Power in barrels of liquid gold.
Every tanker that leaves the shore,
Carries value, carries more.
Chorus
Island of gold in the Persian sea,
Every drop means history.
Hearts and nations pulling tight,
Over what controls the energy light.
Island of gold, standing tall,
One small place can shake it all.
Verse 2
Leaders talking in a heated tone,
About who controls what’s carved in stone.
Strategy drawn on a global map,
Every move like a thunderclap.
But beneath the noise and the endless fight,
It’s people watching every night.
Chorus
Island of gold in the Persian sea,
Every drop means history.
Hearts and nations pulling tight,
Over what controls the energy light.
Island of gold, standing tall,
One small place can shake it all.
Verse 3
And still the world keeps turning round,
Hope and tension in every sound.
Questions rise like waves at shore,
What are we really fighting for?
But peace is more than just a word,
It’s something chosen, not just heard.
Chorus
Island of gold in the Persian sea,
Every drop means history.
Hearts and nations pulling tight,
Over what controls the energy light.
Island of gold, standing tall,
One small place can shake it all.
