Island in the Sun

[Intro]
This is my island in the sun
Where my people has toiled since time begun
I may sail on many sea
Her shore will always be home to me

[Chorus]
Oh, island in the sun
Build to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters and shining sand

[Verse 1]
When morning breaks the heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun come down with a burning glow
Makes me sweat with the earth below

[Chorus]
Oh, island in the sun
Build to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters and shining sand

[Verse 2]
I saw woman on bended knees
Cutting cane for her family
I saw man at the waterside
Casting net at the surging tide

[Chorus]
Oh, island in the sun
Build to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters and shining sand

[Verse 3]
I pray the day might never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drums
Never leave me in this carnival
To sing Calypso song in the [?]

[Chorus]
Oh, island in the sun
Build to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters and shining sand
