Island in the Sun - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)[00:00:00]
This is my island in the sun[00:00:02]
Where my people have toiled since time begun[00:00:08]
I may sail on many a sea[00:00:15]
Her shores will always be home to me[00:00:20]
Oh, island in the sun[00:00:26]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:00:30]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:00:34]
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand[00:00:38]
As morning breaks the heaven on high[00:00:48]
I lift my heavy load to the sky[00:00:52]
Sun comes down with a burning glow[00:00:58]
Mingles my sweat with the earth below[00:01:02]
Oh, island in the sun[00:01:07]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:01:11]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:01:16]
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand[00:01:20]
I see woman on bended knee[00:01:30]
Cutting cane for her family[00:01:34]
I see man at the water side[00:01:39]
Casting nets at the surging tide[00:01:43]
Oh, island in the sun[00:01:49]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:01:53]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:01:57]
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand[00:02:01]
I hope the day will never come[00:02:12]
That I can't awake to the sound of drum[00:02:15]
Never let me miss carnival[00:02:20]
With calypso songs philosophical[00:02:24]
Oh, island in the sun[00:02:30]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:02:34]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:02:39]
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand[00:02:42]
