Island in the Sun
Lyricist:Harry Belafonte, Irving Burgess
This is my island in the sun Where my people have toiled since time begun I may sail on many sea Her shores will always be home to me
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
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
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 earth below
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
Oh island in the sun Built to me by my father's hand Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com All my days I will sing in praise 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
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
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
