| Lyrics |
This is my island in the sunwhere my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a seaher shores will always be home to me
Oh island in the sunbuilt to me by my father's handall my days I will sing in praiseof your forest watersyour shining sand
As morning breaksthe heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the skysun comes down with a burning glowmingles my sweat with the earthly low
Oh island in the sunbuilt to me by my father's handall my days I will sing in praiseof your forest watersyour shining sand
Solo
I see woman on bended kneecutting cane for her family
I see man at the water-sidecasting nets at the surfing tide
Oh island in the sunbuilt to me by my father's handall my days I will sing in praiseof your forest watersyour shining sand
I hope the day will never comethat I can't awake to the sound of drumnever let me miss carnavalwith calypso songsphilosophical.
Oh island in the sunbuilt to me by my father's handall my days I will sing in praiseof your forest watersyour shining sand
