Island in the Sun

Lyrics

[Verse 1] This is my island in the sun Where my people has toiled since time begun I may sail on many seas But these shores will always be home for me [Chorus] Oh, island in the sun Weld to me by my father's hand All my days I'll be singing praise Of your forests, waters and shining sun [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Oh, island in the sun Weld to me by my father's hand All my days I'll be singing praise Of your forеst, waters and shining sun [Verse 3] I see women on bendеd knees Cutting cane for her family I saw man at the waterside Casting nets at the surging tide [Chorus] Oh, island in the sun Weld to me by my father's hand All my days I'll be singing praise Of your forests, waters and shining sun [Verse 4] I pray the day would never come When I can't awake to the sound of drums Never let me in this carnival With Calypso songs fearless I'll become [Outro] Oh, island in the sun Weld to me by my father's hand All my days I'll be singing praise Of your forests, waters and shining sun Oh, island in the sun Weld to me by my father's hand All my days I'll be singing praise Of your forests, waters and shining sun
