[Spoken Word Opening - Over soft ambient tones]

In a world spinning faster and faster,

Where truth becomes thunder and silence turns to static,

We're building something different here –

Islands in the storm, oases in the chaos.

Not running from the madness,

But learning to stand still within it.

You see, staying sane isn't about being untouchable,

It's about knowing how to find your way back home...

[Verse 1]

Center lost and center found

Feet planted on shifting ground

In the space between what's real

And all the stories that we feel

Hold on, hold on

Chorus:

We're building islands in the storm

Places where the truth is born

Not alone but side by side

Learning how to turn the tide

This is how we hold the light

This is how we make it right

[Spoken Bridge - With building instrumentation]

In the midst of information warfare

We're learning to distinguish signal from noise

To sit with not-knowing

Until authentic knowing emerges

Like dawn breaking over still waters

[Verse 2]

Every connection that we make

Every moment when we wake

To the wisdom deep inside

Where peace and chaos both reside

Hold on, hold on

[Final Chorus]

We're building islands in the storm

Places where the truth is born

Not alone but side by side

Learning how to turn the tide

This is how we hold the light

This is how we make it right

[Spoken Outro - As music fades]

We are the seed crystals

In a solution seeking change

Each moment of clarity

Each return to center

Rippling outward

Until sanity becomes

Not just an island

But a continent of possibility
