This is my island in the sun Writer(s): IRVING BURGIE<br>Lyrics powered by www.musixmatch.comIsland In The Sun (From "Island In The Sun") Lyrics
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
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,
As morning
breaks
The heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
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,
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the
waterside
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,
I hope the day will never come
That I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
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

Of your forest waters, your shining sands
I see woman on
bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide
Oh island in the sun
Built to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sands
I hope the day will never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drums
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical
