Island In The Sun

歌詞

This is my island in the sun Where my people have toiled since time begun I may sail on many sea Her shores will always be home to me Oh island in the sun Built to me by my father’s hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest waters, your shining sands When morning breaks the heaven on high I lift my heavy load to the sky Sun comes down with a burning glow Mingles my sweat with the earth below Oh island in the sun Built to me by my father’s hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest waters, your shining sands I see woman on bended knee Cutting cane for her family I saw man at the waterside Casting nets at the surging tide Oh island in the sun Built to me by my father’s hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest waters, your shining sands I pray the day will never come When I can’t awake to the sound of drums Never leave me in this carnival To sing calypso songs in tropical Oh island in the sun Built to me by my father’s hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest waters, your shining sands
