About this song

Welcome to the Island comes from island life: place, belonging, summer energy and the way a local home can open the imagination to a much bigger world.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Come on in, the water’s fine,
Feel the sun, let it ease your mind.
There’s a place for everyone,
Where the work is done, and life’s just begun.
From city streets to sandy bays,
You’re welcome here to stay for days.

Chorus
Welcome to the island, where your heart can breathe,
Where the ocean sings and the palm trees sway with ease.
We’ve got love to share, stories to tell,
You’re home now, babe, so come and stay a spell.
Welcome to the island, let your worries go,
We’ve got room for laughter, music, and hearts aglow.
This is where the world slows down,
And love’s the only sound.

Verse 2
From the Bowls Club laughs to a starry night,
We gather ‘round, everything feels right.
Cinemas by the sea, films and friends,
Where every good day never ends.
Beach cricket, BBQs, and fires bright,
This is our home, under the soft moonlight.

Chorus
Welcome to the island, where your heart can breathe,
Where the ocean sings and the palm trees sway with ease.
We’ve got love to share, stories to tell,
You’re home now, babe, so come and stay a spell.
Welcome to the island, let your worries go,
We’ve got room for laughter, music, and hearts aglow.
This is where the world slows down,
And love’s the only sound.

Bridge
Whether you’re a local or from far away,
This island’s love is here to stay.
We’ve built a life where joy runs deep,
A place where your soul can finally sleep.

Chorus
Welcome to the island, where your heart can breathe,
Where the ocean sings and the palm trees sway with ease.
We’ve got love to share, stories to tell,
You’re home now, babe, so come and stay a spell.
Welcome to the island, let your worries go,
We’ve got room for laughter, music, and hearts aglow.
This is where the world slows down,
And love’s the only sound.

Outro
Welcome home, welcome here,
To the island, where there’s nothing to fear.
Settle in, take it slow,
This is the place where love will grow.
