Island Of My Heart: When Words Are Not Enough
Sung by Siera Keyt and written by Dodwell Keyt
Some moments in life resist explanation. The scale of loss, the weight of grief, and the quiet suffering of ordinary people can feel too heavy for words alone. The recent disaster in Sri Lanka is one such moment.
For those of us born on the island, Sri Lanka is not simply a place on a map. It is memory. It is the sound of rain on warm earth, the colour of the ocean at dusk, the voices of childhood carried on the wind. When tragedy strikes there, it is felt deeply, no matter how far away we may now live.
Island of My Heart was written in response to this devastation. It is not a political statement, nor an attempt to explain the unexplainable. It is a personal expression of grief, love, and belonging, a quiet conversation with a homeland that has endured more than its share of sorrow.
The song reflects on the pain of watching from afar as floods and landslides tear through communities, claiming lives and livelihoods. It also acknowledges a deeper truth: that Sri Lanka has known loss before, and yet continues to stand. Time and again, its people have shown resilience, compassion, and an extraordinary capacity to rebuild.
Music has always been a way to reach places words cannot. In moments of collective mourning, a song can become a shared space, a place to pause, remember, and feel connected. Island of My Heart is offered in that spirit: as a tribute to those lost, a gesture of solidarity with those suffering, and a reminder that Sri Lanka is not forgotten.
If this song moves you, please consider sharing it and supporting reputable relief efforts assisting those affected by the disaster. Awareness, compassion, and practical help all matter, especially once the headlines fade.
Sri Lanka is wounded, but it is not alone.
From near or far, we carry the island with us, always.
FADING ROSE
Verse 1
I was born beneath your sunlight,
On a warm Colombo day;
Your ocean was my cradle,
Your winds taught me to pray.
And though I’ve travelled far now,
Your heartbeat calls me home
An island made of courage,
Never meant to grieve alone.
Verse 2
I watched you break in silence
When the storm began to rise;
A land I’ve always carried
Fell to pieces in my eyes.
For we’ve known loss before this,
Tides that stole our breath away;
But this sorrow feels much deeper
A darker, heavier day.
Chorus
And when the waters came,
It felt like losing you again
Every hillside crying,
Every village drowning in pain.
Oh Sri Lanka, my home,
Though I’m far, my heart is near;
Every tear that falls upon you
Is a tear I place right here.
Verse 3
I see the faces of my childhood,
In the news, in shattered light
The laughter I remember
Now swallowed by the night.
A mother searching rooftops,
A father kneeling in the rain
And I ache to hold them close
Though oceans lie between our pain.
Bridge
And I whisper to the distance,
To the gardens of my youth:
“I am with you in this sorrow,
In your heartbreak, in your truth.”
For you shaped the soul within me,
In your colours, warm and wild
And I will never stop belonging
To the island where I smiled.
Chorus (solo cello)
And when the waters came,
It felt like losing you again
Every hillside crying,
Every village drowning in pain.
Oh Sri Lanka, my home,
I will stand and grieve with you;
From this darkness, we’ll rise slowly
And rebuild what we once knew.
Outro
So here’s my vow of memory,
Of love both old and new
No matter where I wander,
I still belong to you.
And when the healing finds you,
When the dawn breaks soft and true
I’ll be singing from the distance,
But my heart will be with you.
