Am I no man?

No man is an island -- but I am an island: am I no man?
Not only an island -- but an island of desert: am I cursed?
Or: has Heaven a Hand on this experience?
Ah, a flicker of understanding now I see: It is You, O God, Who author this experience of my soul!
But my mind is yet clouded as to grasp the Divine Reason behind all this.
In time, I know, will I fully understand.
I trust.

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND
ARTIST: JOAN BAEZ

No man is an island,
No man stands alone,
Each man's joy is joy to me,
Each man's grief is my own.


We need one another,
So I will defend,
Each man as my brother,
Each man as my friend.


I saw the people gather,
I heard the music start,
The song that they were singing,
Is ringing in my heart.


No man is an island,
Way out in the blue,
We all look to the one above,
For our strength to renew.


When I help my brother,
Then I know that I,
Plant the seed of friendship,
That will never die.
