Island in the Sun

Song composer: Goombay Danceband
Lyrics author: Goombay Danceband


This is my island in the sun
B7 
Where my people have toiled since time begun.
F#m 
I may sail on many a sea
B7 
Her shores will always be home to me.
           
            Oh, island in the sun,
           B7 
            Willed to me by my father's hand
           
            All my days I will sing and praise
           B7 
            Of your forests, waters, your shining sands.
As morning breaks the heaven on high
B7 
lift my heavy load to the sky.
F#m 
Sun comes down with a burning glow
B7 
Mingles my sweat with the earth below.
            Oh, island in the sun...
I see woman on bended knees
B7 
Cutting cane for her family.
F#m 
I see man at the water side
B7 
Casting nets at the surging tide.
            Oh, island in the sun...
I hope the day will never come
B7 
That I can't awake to the sound of a drum,
F#m 
Never let me miss carnival
B7 
With calypso songs philosophical.
            Oh, island in the sun...
