ISLAND IN THE SUN

ISLANDIN

This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled
since time begun
Tho' I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me
Oh Island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forests waters and shining sands
As 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
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forests waters your shining sands
I see women on bended knees
Cutting cane for their families
I see men at the water side
Casting nets at the surging tide
Oh Island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forests waters your shining sands
I hope the day will never come
That I can't awake to the sound of the drum
Never let me miss Carnival
Calypso songs full of subtle call
Oh Island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forests waters your shining sands
Oh Island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forests waters and shining sands
