[00:00.00]Island in the Sun - The Paragons
[00:02.50]This is my island in the sun
[00:06.66]Where my people have toiled since time begun
[00:11.83]I may sail on many a sea
[00:15.71]Her shores will always be home to me
[00:21.78]Oh island in the sun
[00:26.11]Build to me by my father's hand
[00:30.98]All my days I will sing in praise
[00:35.20]Of your forest waters your shining sand
[00:41.35]As morning breaks the heaven on high
[00:45.43]I lift my heavy load to the sky
[00:51.21]Sun comes down with a burning glow
[00:55.73]Mingles my sweat with the earth below
[01:01.39]Oh island in the sun
[01:05.53]Build to me by my father's hand
[01:10.54]All my days I will sing in praise
[01:14.91]Of your forest waters your shining sand
[01:21.13]I see woman on bended knee
[01:26.15]Cutting cane for her family
[01:31.07]I see man at the waterside
[01:35.50]Casting nets at the surging tide
[01:41.21]Oh island in the sun
[01:45.40]Build to me by my father's hand
[01:49.97]All my days I will sing in praise
[01:54.58]Of your forest waters your shining sand
[02:00.69]I pray the day will never come
[02:05.01]When I can't awake to the sound of drum
[02:10.97]Never let me miss carnival
[02:15.08]With calypso songs philosophical
[02:20.82]Oh island in the sun
[02:25.35]Build to me by my father's hand
[02:30.12]All my days I will sing in praise
[02:34.50]Of your forest waters your shining sand
[02:40.61]Mmm mmm ooo mmm mmm mmm
