[00:00.00]Island In The Sun - Errol Dunkley/Brave Man
[00:01.48]This is my island in the sun
[00:05.03]
[00:07.14]Where my people have
[00:08.61]Toiled since time begun
[00:11.31]
[00:13.18]I may sail on many a sea
[00:16.32]
[00:17.42]The shores will always
[00:19.99]Be home to me
[00:22.11]
[00:23.80]Oh island in the sun
[00:27.28]
[00:28.56]Gived to me by my father's hand
[00:33.12]
[00:34.26]All my days I will sing in praise
[00:38.42]
[00:39.12]Of your forest waters and
[00:42.31]Shining sand
[00:44.23]
[00:45.87]When morning breaks
[00:47.87]The heaven on high
[00:50.02]
[00:50.91]I lift my heavy load to the sky
[00:55.63]
[00:56.91]Sun comes down with a burning glow
[01:00.91]
[01:02.20]Mingles my sweat with the earth below
[01:06.92]
[01:08.42]Oh island in the sun
[01:11.77]
[01:13.04]Gived to me by my father's hand
[01:17.35]
[01:18.53]All my days I will sing in praise
[01:23.29]Of your forest waters
[01:26.50]And shining sand
[01:28.54]
[01:30.09]I see woman on bended knee
[01:34.30]
[01:35.55]Cutting cane for her family
[01:39.51]
[01:41.16]I see man at the water side
[01:45.33]
[01:46.66]Casting nets at the surging tide
[01:51.53]
[01:52.74]Oh island in the sun
[01:56.34]
[01:57.47]Gived to me by my father's hand
[02:01.92]
[02:02.97]All my days I will sing in praise
[02:07.89]Of your forest waters
[02:10.88]And shining sand
[02:13.01]
[02:37.37]Oh island in the sun
[02:40.61]
[02:41.92]Gived to me by my father's hand
[02:46.38]
[02:47.39]All my days I will sing in praise
[02:52.20]Of your forest waters
[02:55.23]And shining sand
[02:57.36]
[02:59.20]I praise the day may never come
[03:03.09]
[03:04.01]That I can't awake to
[03:06.94]The sound of drum
[03:09.18]
[03:10.28]Never leave me in this carnaval
[03:14.67]
[03:21.77]Oh island in the sun
[03:25.17]
[03:26.49]Gived to me by my father's hand
[03:30.95]
[03:31.92]All my days I will sing in praise
[03:36.62]Of your forest waters
[03:39.84]And shining sand
