D G A7 D
This is my Island in the sun, where my people have toiled since time begun.
D G A7 D
Tho’ I may sail on many a sea, her shores will allways be home to me.
Refr:
D Em A7 D
Oh, Island in the sun, willed to me by my father’s hand.
D Em A7 D
All my days I will sing in praise of your forests, waters, your shining sand.
When morning breaks the heaven on high, I lift my heavy load to the sky.
Suns come down with a burning glow, mingels my sweat with the earth
below. Refr:
I hope the day will never come, that I can’t wake up to the sound of drum.
Never let me miss carneval with calypso songs philosophical.
