Island In The Sun - sir[00:00:00]
This is my island in the sun[00:00:00]
Where my people have toiled since time begun[00:00:06]
I may sail on many a sea[00:00:11]
Her shores will always be home to me[00:00:16]
Oh island in the sun[00:00:24]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:00:27]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:00:33]
Of your forest waters[00:00:38]
Your shining sand[00:00:41]
As morning breaks[00:00:47]
The heaven on high[00:00:49]
I lift my heavy load to the sky[00:00:52]
Sun comes down with a burning glow[00:00:57]
Mingles my sweat with the earthly low[00:01:03]
Oh island in the sun[00:01:09]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:01:13]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:01:19]
Of your forest waters[00:01:23]
Your shining sand[00:01:26]
I see woman on bended knee[00:01:33]
Cutting cane for her family[00:01:38]
I see man at the water side[00:01:43]
Casting nets at the surfing tide[00:01:48]
Oh island in the sun[00:01:54]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:01:58]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:02:04]
Of your forest waters[00:02:08]
Your shining sand[00:02:11]
I hope the day will never come[00:02:18]
When I can't awake to the sound of drum[00:02:23]
Never let me miss carnaval[00:02:28]
With calypso songs[00:02:33]
Philosophical[00:02:35]
Oh island in the sun[00:02:39]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:02:44]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:02:49]
Of your forest waters[00:02:54]
Your shining sand[00:02:57]
Oh island in the sun[00:03:01]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:03:05]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:03:11]
Of your forest waters[00:03:15]
Your shining sand[00:03:18]
This is my island in the sun[00:03:22]
Where my people have toiled since time begun[00:03:27]
I may sail on many a sea[00:03:33]
Her shores will always be home to me[00:03:37]
