This is my island in the sun[00:00:01]

Where my people have toiled since time begun[00:00:06]

I may sail on many a sea[00:00:12]

Her shores will always be home to me[00:00:17]

Oh island in the sun[00:00:24]

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[00:00:39]

As morning breaks the heaven on high[00:00:50]

I lift my heavy load to the sky[00:00:54]

Sun comes down with a burning glow[00:01:00]

Mingles my sweat with the earth below[00:01:04]

Oh island in the sun[00:01:10]

Willed to me by my father's hand[00:01:15]

All my days I will sing in praise[00:01:17]

Of your forest waters your shining sand[00:01:24]

I see woman on bended knee[00:01:34]

Cutting cane for her family[00:01:39]

I see man at the waterside[00:01:44]

Casting nets at the surging tide[00:01:48]

Oh island in the sun[00:01:54]

Willed to me by my father's hand[00:01:59]

All my days I will sing in praise[00:02:03]

Of your forest waters your shining sand[00:02:07]

I pray the day will never come[00:02:19]

When I can't awake to the sound of drum[00:02:23]

Never let me miss carnival[00:02:28]

With calypso songs philosophical[00:02:32]

Oh island in the sun[00:02:38]

Willed to me by my father's hand[00:02:42]

All my days I will sing in praise[00:02:47]

Of your forest waters your shining sand[00:02:52]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm[00:02:56]
