[00:01.08] This is my island in the sun
[00:06.73] Where my people have toiled since time begun
[00:12.41] I may sail on many a sea
[00:17.33] Her shores will always be home to me
[00:24.29]
[00:24.53] Oh, island in the sun
[00:29.93] Willed to me by my father's hand
[00:34.26] All my days I will sing in praise
[00:39.17] Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
[00:43.78]
[00:49.86] As morning breaks the heaven on high
[00:54.35] I lift my heavy load to the sky
[00:59.74] Sun comes down with a burning glow
[01:04.18] Mingles my sweat with the earth below
[01:08.34]
[01:09.60] Oh, island in the sun
[01:14.21] Willed to me by my father's hand
[01:18.79] All my days I will sing in praise
[01:22.77] Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
[01:28.24]
[01:34.05] I see woman on bended knee
[01:38.93] Cutting cane for her family
[01:43.42] I see man at the waterside
[01:48.37] Casting nets at the surging tide
[01:53.02]
[01:53.50] Oh, island in the sun
[01:57.90] Willed to me by my father's hand
[02:02.73] All my days I will sing in praise
[02:06.89] Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
[02:12.44]
[02:18.14] I pray the day will never come
[02:22.82] When I can't awake to the sound of drum
[02:27.25] Never let me miss carnival
[02:31.75] With calypso songs philosophical
[02:35.77]
[02:37.19] Oh, island in the sun
[02:41.40] Willed to me by my father's hand
[02:46.22] All my days I will sing in praise
[02:50.30] Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
[02:54.92]
[02:57.40] mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
