The Island Song, alternately titled Island Song, is a song from the fourth series dedicated to the Island of Sodor. It aired in the US on the Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales episode, Wish You Were Here in 1996. It was later re-released with a new CGI music video remake as part of Thomas' YouTube World Tour on 22 July 2015.

An instrumental lullaby version was created for the currently digital-exclusive album, Lullabies.

Lyrics

Original version

VERSE 1:

Picture a land where the sky is so blue
A storybook land of wonder
A magical island just waiting for you
Island of Sodor will make your dreams come true

VERSE 2:

Imagine a place where the sun always smiles
The valleys are green as can be
The friends that you love are all waiting for you
Island of Sodor will make your dreams come true

CHORUS:

Children follow the dream
To a land of make-believe
The Island of Sodor
A magical land where dreams come true

VERSE 3 (SPOKEN):

Follow the road that leads to your dream
Over the hills and mountains
Look for the skies with stars in their eyes
(singing) Island of Sodor will make your dreams come true

(CHORUS)

OUTRO:

The Island of Sodor
Magical land where dreams come true

Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales

Picture a land where the sky is so blue
A storybook land of wonder
A magical island just waiting for you
Island of Sodor will make your dreams come true

CHORUS:

'Children follow the dream
To a land of make-believe
The Island of Sodor
A magical land where dreams come true

OUTRO:

The Island of Sodor
Magical land where dreams come true
