Island In The Sun - World Music[00:00:00]
This is island in the sun[00:00:16]
Where my people have[00:00:20]
Toiled since time begun[00:00:21]
I may sail on many a sea[00:00:24]
Her shores will always[00:00:28]
Be home to me[00:00:30]
Oh island in the sun[00:00:33]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:00:37]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:00:40]
Of your forest waters your[00:00:44]
Shining sand[00:00:46]
As morning breaks[00:00:49]
The heaven on high[00:00:50]
I lift my heavy load to the sky[00:00:53]
Sun comes down with a burning glow[00:00:57]
Mingles my sweat[00:01:01]
In the earth below[00:01:02]
Oh island in the sun[00:01:05]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:01:09]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:01:13]
Of your forest waters[00:01:17]
Your shining sand[00:01:19]
I see woman on bended knee[00:01:38]
Cutting cane for her family[00:01:42]
I see man at the water side[00:01:45]
Casting nets at the surging tide[00:01:49]
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[00:02:02]
Of your forest waters[00:02:05]
Your shining sand[00:02:07]
I praise the day will never come[00:02:26]
When I can't awake to[00:02:29]
The sound of drum[00:02:32]
Never let me miss carnival[00:02:34]
With calypso songs philosophical[00:02:38]
Oh island in the sun[00:02:42]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:02:46]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:02:50]
Of your forest waters[00:02:54]
Your shining sand[00:02:56]
