Island In The Sun - Original

歌詞

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 earth below 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 waters side Casting nets at the surging 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 That I can't awake to the sound of drum Never let me miss carnival 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
