Cheny Lane Mus. EM! Songs Ltd.
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
Oh island in the sun
willed to me by my fathers hand
All my days I will sing
in praise of your fairest 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
ealth below
Oh island in the sun
willed to me by my fathers hand
All my days I will sing
in praise of your fairest waters,
your shining sand
I see a woman on bended knee
cutting cane for her family
I see a man at the waters side
casting nets at the surging tide
Oh island in the sun
willed to me by my fathers hand
All my days I will sing
in praise of your fairest waters,
your shining sand
I hope the day will never come
When I can't wake
to the sound of drum
N ever let me miss a carnival
With calypso songs philosophical
Oh island in the sun
willed to me by my fathers hand
All my days I will sing
in praise of your fairest waters,
your shining sand
