Island In The Sun - sir

Written by：H. Belafonte/L. Burgess

This is my island in the sun

Where my people have toiled since time begun

I may sail on many a sea

Her shores will always be home to me

Oh island in the sun

Willed to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing in praise

Of your forest waters

Your shining sand

As morning breaks

The heaven on high

I lift my heavy load to the sky

Sun comes down with a burning glow

Mingles my sweat with the earthly low

Oh island in the sun

Willed to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing in praise

Of your forest waters

Your shining sand

I see woman on bended knee

Cutting cane for her family

I see man at the water side

Casting nets at the surfing tide

Oh island in the sun

Willed to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing in praise

Of your forest waters

Your shining sand

I hope the day will never come

When I can't awake to the sound of drum

Never let me miss carnaval

With calypso songs

Philosophical

Oh island in the sun

Willed to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing in praise

Of your forest waters

Your shining sand

Oh island in the sun

Willed to me by my father's hand

All my days I will sing in praise

Of your forest waters

Your shining sand

This is my island in the sun

Where my people have toiled since time begun

I may sail on many a sea

Her shores will always be home to me
