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
Chorus:-
Oh island in the sun given to me by my fathers hand
All my days I will sing in praise of your farrest 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
Chorus
I see woman on bended knee cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waters side casting nets at the surging tide
Chorus
I hope the day will never come when I can’t wake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival with calypso songs philosophical
