Every time that I lay my body down to rest
My mind goes home to the island
The place that I love best
And every time I think of all the things that make me strong
I know someday I'll walk again
In the place where I belong
Take me home
To where I always want to be
Sitting in the sun (Sitting in the sun)
On the sand, by the sea
Take me home
Take this body home again
Someday I will
But I really, really don't know when
When I think of home
I hear laughter everywhere
Reggae music in the streets
And calypso everywhere
And the happy sound of little children full of life
And the peaceful countryside
And fireflies in the evening light
Take me home
To where I always want to be
Sitting in the sun (Sitting in the sun)
On the sand, by the sea
Take me home
Take this body home again
Someday I will
But I really, really don't know when
Oh, take me home
To where I always want to be
Sitting in the sun (Sitting in the sun)
On the sand, by the sea
Take me home
Take this body home again
Someday I will
But I really, really don't know when
Someday I will
But I really, really don't know when
