Island In The Sun - The Paragons[00:00:00]
This is my island in the sun[00:00:01]
Where my people have toiled since time begun[00:00:05]
I may sail on many a sea[00:00:10]
Her shores will always be home to me[00:00:14]
Oh island in the sun[00:00:20]
Build to me by my father's hand[00:00:25]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:00:29]
Of your forest waters your shining sand[00:00:34]
As morning breaks the heaven on the high[00:00:40]
I lift my heavy load to the sky[00:00:44]
Sun comes down with a burning glow[00:00:50]
Mingles my sweat with the earth below[00:00:54]
Oh island in the sun[00:01:00]
Build to me by my father's hand[00:01:04]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:01:09]
Of your forest waters your shining sand[00:01:13]
I see woman on bended knee[00:01:20]
Cutting cane for her family[00:01:25]
I see man at the waterside[00:01:29]
Casting nets at the surging tide[00:01:34]
Oh island in the sun[00:01:40]
Build to me by my father's hand[00:01:44]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:01:49]
Of your forest waters and your shining sand[00:01:53]
I pray the day may never come[00:01:59]
When I can't awake to the sound of drum[00:02:04]
Never let me in the carnival[00:02:09]
With calypso songs philosophical[00:02:14]
Oh island in the sun[00:02:19]
Build to me by my father's hand[00:02:24]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:02:29]
Of your forest waters and your shining sand[00:02:33]
Mmm mmm ooo mmm mmm mmm[00:02:39]
