Island In The Sun - The Greenstones[00:00:00]
This is my island in the sun[00:00:00]
Where my people have toiled since time begun[00:00:04]
I may sail on many a sea[00:00:08]
Her shores will always be home to me[00:00:12]
Oh island in the sun[00:00:17]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:00:20]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:00:24]
Of your forest waters[00:00:28]
Your shining sand[00:00:30]
As morning breaks[00:00:32]
The heaven on high[00:00:34]
I lift my heavy load to the sky[00:00:36]
Sun comes down with a burning glow[00:00:40]
Mingles my sweat with the earthly low[00:00:44]
Oh island in the sun[00:00:49]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:00:52]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:00:56]
Of your forest waters[00:01:00]
Your shining sand[00:01:02]
I see woman on bended knee[00:01:04]
Cutting cane for her family[00:01:09]
I see man at the water side[00:01:13]
Casting nets at the surfing tide[00:01:17]
Oh island in the sun[00:01:21]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:01:25]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:01:28]
Of your forest waters[00:01:32]
Your shining sand[00:01:34]
I hope the day will never come[00:01:54]
When I can't awake to the sound of drum[00:01:58]
Never let me miss carnaval[00:02:02]
With calypso songs[00:02:06]
Philosophical[00:02:08]
Oh island in the sun[00:02:10]
Willed to me by my father's hand[00:02:14]
All my days I will sing in praise[00:02:18]
Of your forest waters[00:02:21]
Your shining sand[00:02:23]
