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

I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the water-side
Casting nets at the surging tide

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
When 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
