Island In the Sun

This is my island in the sun

Where my people are spoiled since time began

I have sailed on many seas

But the shores will always be home to me

Oh, island in the sun

Wielded to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing the praise

Of your forest, waters, your shining sun

As morning breaks the heaven and I

I lift my heavy load up to the sky

Sun comes down like a burning glow

Mingle my sweat with the earth below

Oh, island in the sun

Wielded to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing the praise

Of your forest, waters, your shining sun

I saw women on bended knees

Culting canes for their family

I saw men on the waterside

Casting nets in a surging tide

Oh, island in the sun

Wielded to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing the praise

Of your forest, waters, your shining sun

I hope the day will never come

When I can't stay away from the sound of drums

Never let me miss carnival

Calypso music and Tropicana

Oh, island in the sun

Wielded to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing the praise

Of your forest, waters, your shining sun

Oh, island in the sun

Wielded to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing the praise

Of your forest, waters, your shining sun
