[00:00.00]Island In The Sun - George Faith
[00:15.33]This is my island in the sun
[00:18.31]
[00:20.48]Where my people have
[00:21.82]Toiled since time begun
[00:25.20]
[00:27.18]I may sail on many a sea
[00:31.68]
[00:33.15]Her shores will always
[00:34.97]
[00:36.21]Be home to me
[00:38.06]
[00:39.76]Oh island in the sun
[00:44.50]
[00:45.93]Gived to me by my father's hand
[00:50.93]
[00:52.15]All my days I will sing in praise
[00:56.97]
[00:57.77]Of your forest waters your
[01:01.68]Shining sand
[01:03.37]
[01:05.34]As morning breaks
[01:06.59]
[01:07.71]The heaven on high
[01:09.44]
[01:10.90]I lift my heavy load to the sky
[01:16.11]
[01:17.35]Sun comes down with a burning glow
[01:22.35]
[01:23.86]And mingles my sweat
[01:26.22]In the earth below
[01:28.27]
[01:30.79]Oh island in the sun
[01:34.58]
[01:36.04]Willed to me by my father's hand
[01:41.51]
[01:42.66]All my days I will sing in praise
[01:47.13]
[01:48.07]Of your forest waters
[01:50.83]
[01:51.79]Your shining sand
[01:53.41]
[01:55.71]I paise the day will never come
[01:59.35]
[02:01.17]When I shuoldn't awake to
[02:04.16]The sound of drum
[02:05.39]
[02:07.98]Never let me miss carnival
[02:11.73]
[02:13.77]With calypso songs philosophical
[02:17.53]
[02:21.20]Oh island in the sun
[02:25.47]
[02:26.55]Gived to me by my father's hand
[02:31.44]
[02:32.85]All my days I will sing in praise
[02:37.44]
[02:38.86]Of your forest waters
[02:41.29]
[02:42.12]Your shining sand
[02:44.14]
[03:11.21]I see woman on bended knees
[03:15.10]
[03:16.49]Cutting cane for her family
[03:21.13]
[03:23.29]I see man at the water side
[03:27.30]
[03:29.03]Casting nets at the surging tide
[03:33.85]
[03:36.03]Oh island in the sun
[03:40.11]
[03:41.63]Gived to me by my
