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
(chorus)
O island in the sun
Built to me by my Father's hand
All my days, I will sing in praise
Of your forests, 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
(repeat chorus)
I see woman on bended knee
cutting cane for her family
I see man at the water side
Casting nets at the surging tide
(repeat chorus)
I hope the day will never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me Miss Carnival
With calypso song philosophical
(repeat chorus)
