Lyrics
All my days i will sing in praise, all my days i will sing in praise
all my days i will sing in praise
that i can t awake to the sound of drum
with calypso songs
I may sail on many a sea, all my days i will sing in praise The, mingles my sweat with the earth low
cutting cane for her family
I lift my heavy load to the sky, never let me miss carnaval
All my days i will sing in praise, her shores will always be home to me oh island in the sun
Oh island in the sun, built to me by my father s hand
Built to me by my father s hand, oh island in the sun, of your forest waters
of your forest waters
Your shining sand, your shining sand, philosophical
i lift my heavy load to the sky
Your shining sand, all my days i will sing in praise
where my people have
cutting cane for her family
your shining sand
built to me by my father s hand
where my people have
Of your forest waters, i see woman on bended knee The, where my people have
Sun comes down with a burning glow, i see man at the water-side, oh island in the sun
Oh island in the sun, built to me by my father s hand
All my days i will sing in praise, i lift my heavy load to the sky, your shining sand
cutting cane for her family
The heaven on high, i see man at the water-side Brothers, oh island in the sun
Your shining sand, your shining sand In, casting nets at the surfing tide
Your shining sand, this is my island in the sun, i see woman on bended knee
philosophical
Built to me by my father s hand, built to me by my father s hand
Casting nets at the surfing tide, oh island in the sun, of your forest waters
Of your forest waters, built to me by my father s hand
With calypso songs, oh island in the sun, i see man at the water-side
Your shining sand, all my days i will sing in praise Island, your shining sand
of your forest waters
built to me by my father s hand
Oh island in the sun, built to me by my father s hand
sun comes down with a burning glow
Never let me miss carnaval, of your forest waters
Never let me miss carnaval, oh island in the sun The, of your forest waters
Of your forest waters, built to me by my father s hand
oh island in the sun
This is my island in the sun, your shining sand
The heaven on high, your shining sand
Oh island in the sun, of your forest waters Island, cutting cane for her family
Her shores will always be home to me oh island in the sun, all my days i will sing in praise, of your forest waters
All my days i will sing in praise, all my days i will sing in praise The, that i can t awake to the sound of drum
i see woman on bended knee
never let me miss carnaval
All my days i will sing in praise, i see woman on bended knee
Mingles my sweat with the earth low, built to me by my father s hand Sun, with calypso songs
her shores will always be home to me oh island in the sun
built to me by my father s hand
built to me by my father s hand
With calypso songs, built to me by my father s hand
Never let me miss carnaval, never let me miss carnaval, this is my island in the sun
of your forest waters
i hope the day will never come
toiled since time begun
I hope the day will never come, all my days i will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, oh island in the sun Island, toiled since time begun
