Lyrics by Mateo Amero and D.J. Harris
Music by Mateo Amero

Matéo Amero: Vocals, Guitars, Piano, Bass, Lap Steel Guitar, Percussion

Well its time, I’ve moved on forward
Outside of this mine, it feels a lot warmer
Paradise in mind, always callin’ me to go
But I’m gettin’ tired goin’ to and fro

So much trouble, in this world, we’ve yearned for land to tame
I was told long ago about an island in a great lake that no man has ever claimed.
Island Claim

Wake up its another morning
Fill up your mug, I can feel you’re yearning.
But soon we’ll advance upon the trail
So try not to act so frail

I know.. I’m hungry too, but we’ll push on through just the same.
This mountain pass we’re gonna climb through, so we can stake our claim
Island Claim

If I could fly then I’d take to the wind
And chase down that island, kickin’ wing
Fifteen thousand hectares in the northland
Through the kind of pines you’ll never find in the mills of Portland

In paradise it hides, deep within the pines. Paid freedom to quit the game.
Roarin’ river through my brain, tells me life falls with the rain, this island you must claim
Island Claim.
