No Man Is an Island =================== w&m: Joan Whitney & Alex Kramer, 1950 [Verse 1] No man is an island, No man stands alone, Each man's joy is joy to me, Each man's grief is my own. [Verse 2] We need one another, So I will defend, Each man as my brother, Each man as my friend. [Refrain] I saw the people gather; I heard the music start. The song that they were singing Is ringing in my heart. [Verse 3] No man is an island Way out in the blue. We all look to the one above, For our strength to renew. [Verse 4] When I help my brother, Then I know that I Plant the seed of friendship That will never die.
