"In the eons of time, when the planet still united its
Elements and separated young continents, emerging from the
Depths of the recent Atlantic was a wonder
Of an archipelago!!
And why not consider the hypothesis that
Mountain ranges, beaches, rivers, and islands have their own
Independent consciousness endowed with a complex
Chain of reasoning, emotion, vibration, and memory?
And what if today, the island itself comes to tell us its story?"

- I was born when the earth was a girl
Raising mountains from the ocean floor
Entire continents
And a thousand Himalayas rising high
I wanted to see so much
Emerging from this side
And I surfaced from the waters
In a trail of moonlight that entered the sea...

Ignited, ignited, ignited, ignited
An island in the middle of the world
Everything around is yours...
Ignited, ignited, ignited, ignited
I’m an island in the middle of the world
Everything around is mine

When the fear of the unknown
Silenced the eyes thirsty for the sky
Where letters and celestial maps
Guided their masts through the dark
When the shadows of the Middle Ages
Obscured our thoughts
When they still swore that the world
Ended in the abyss of a sea...

Ascended, ascended, ascended, ascended
An island in the middle of the world
Everything around is yours...
Ignited, ignited, ignited, ignited
I’m an island in the middle of the world
Everything around is mine

How I miss that girl
In the mirror of the waters shining with sunlight...
Today I search for her face in the big city
In neon signs
Where so many fall silent and drown
Their dreams to survive
I’m just another wandering soul
Searching for myself in you...

Ignited, ignited, ignited, ignited
An island in the middle of the world
Everything around is yours...
Ignited, ignited, ignited, ignited
I’m an island in the middle of the world
Everything around is mine...

An island in the middle of the world
Everything around is mine
