A winter's day In a deep and dark December I am alone Gazing from my window to the streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow I am a rock I am an island. I've built walls A fortress deep and mighty That none may penetrate I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain It's laughter and it's loving I disdain I am a rock I am an island. Don't talk of love But I've heard the words before It's sleeping in my memory I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died If I never loved I never would have cried I am a rock I am an island. I have my books And my poetry to protect me I am shielded in my armor Hiding in my room, safe within my womb I touch no one and no one touches me I am a rock I am an island.

He told the media he'd be sticking around to perform those duties despite the postponement. During his time in the track's media center, Johnson also answered some pro wrestling questions, including one about how WWE has benefited by making WrestleMania a two-day event. Cognizant that the racing press may not all completely be up to speed pun intended on his pro wrestling background as The Rock, he patiently explained both his own third-generation history and why WrestleMania has expanded to fill two nights. While doing so, he also verified that he'd be in the ring in Philadelphia this April. And I can't wait. I think we are creating something that should be, I think, pretty cool for the fans and pretty entertaining.

Lyrics submitted by kevin. The song is about his desire to avoid pain and brokenheartedness. He doesn't want to be hurt again, so he refuses to make friends, to fall in love, he'll be a hermit. It may sound determined, but by the end of the song it's obvious it's all a lie he tells himself to get through the days. He's alone and it hurts him, but he'll tell himself he likes it that way, hoping it won't hurt so badly. The last two lines explain it; he's not a rock, he's been hurt and has cried, but will pretend not to. The "island never cries" line is possibly the most meaningful part.
