Island In the Sun (with Bob Corman's Orchestra & Chorus) [Remastered]
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 father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, 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
Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters Your shining sand

Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters Your shining sand
I hope the day will never come That I can't awake to the sound of drum Never let me miss carnival With calypso songs philosophical
Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters Your shining sand
