《Island In The Sun》歌词

[00:00:00] Island In The Sun - The Greenstones

[00:00:00] This is my island in the sun

[00:00:04] Where my people have toiled since time begun

[00:00:08] I may sail on many a sea

[00:00:12] Her shores will always be home to me

[00:00:17] Oh island in the sun

[00:00:20] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:00:24] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:00:28] Of your forest waters

[00:00:30] Your shining sand

[00:00:32] As morning breaks

[00:00:34] The heaven on high

[00:00:36] I lift my heavy load to the sky

[00:00:40] Sun comes down with a burning glow

[00:00:44] Mingles my sweat with the earthly low

[00:00:49] Oh island in the sun

[00:00:52] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:00:56] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:01:00] Of your forest waters

[00:01:02] Your shining sand

[00:01:04] I see woman on bended knee

[00:01:09] Cutting cane for her family

[00:01:13] I see man at the water side

[00:01:17] Casting nets at the surfing tide

[00:01:21] Oh island in the sun

[00:01:25] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:01:28] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:01:32] Of your forest waters

[00:01:34] Your shining sand

[00:01:54] I hope the day will never come

[00:01:58] When I can't awake to the sound of drum

[00:02:02] Never let me miss carnaval

[00:02:06] With calypso songs

[00:02:08] Philosophical

[00:02:10] Oh island in the sun

[00:02:14] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:02:18] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:02:21] Of your forest waters

[00:02:23] Your shining sand
