Lizard Island - Great Barrier Reef - what a place. Words and music Rob. Photos Rob, Tim and Sarah.

There's a place in my mind
I go to when I'm tired
The sea is aqua blue
The coral is inspired
The beaches have white sand
And at night the stars shine bright
And when I'm there everything feels just right.

So take me to that island
Out in the Coral Sea
Let me dive beneath the surface
And with turtles swim free
With sunshine on my flesh
I float out on the reef
Myriad fish beneath me
What joy, what sweet relief.

There's a place in my mind
I go to when I'm cold
The waters always warm and clear
The stories still untold
Granit boulders line the shore
The moon lights up the night
And when I'm there everything feels just right.

So take me to that island
Out in the Coral Sea
Let me dive beneath the surface
And with turtles swim free
With sunshine on my flesh
I float out on the reef
Myriad fish beneath me
What joy, what sweet relief.

So when you're feelin' weary
When you're feelin' blue
Close your eyes and visualise
A place you once knew
A place where you felt safe and warm
A place without fright
A place where everything feels just right.

For me it is that island
Out in the Coral Sea
Where I dive beneath the surface
And with turtles swim free
With sunshine on my flesh
I float out on the reef
Myriad fish beneath me
What joy, what sweet relief
Myriad fish beneath me
What joy, what sweet relief. (less info)
