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 as part of Thomas' YouTube World Tour on 22 July 2015.
An instrumental lullaby version was created for the digital album, Lullabies.
Lyrics
- 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
- 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
- Children follow the dream
- To a land of make-believe
- The Island of Sodor
- A magical land where dreams come true
- Follow the road that leads to your dream
- Over the hills and mountains
- Look for the skies with stars in their eyes
- Island of Sodor will make your dreams come true
- Children follow the dream
- To a land of make-believe
- The Island of Sodor
- A magical land where dreams come true
- The Island of Sodor
- Magical land where dreams come true
