[Verse]
C F
This is my island in the sun
G7 C
Where my people have toiled since time begun.
C Dm
I may sail on many a sea
C G7 C
Her shores will always be home to me.
[Chorus]
C F
Oh, island in the sun,
G7 C
Willed to me by my father's hand
C F
All my days I will sing and praise
G7 C
Of your forests, waters, your shining sands.
[Verse]
C F
As morning breaks the heaven on high
G7 C
I lift my heavy load to the sky.
C Dm
Sun comes down with a burning glow
C G7 C
Mingles my sweat with the earth below.
[Chorus]
C F
I see woman on bended knees
G7 C
Cutting cane for her family.
C Dm
I see man at the water side
C G7 C
Casting nets at the surging tide.
[Chorus]
C F
I hope the day will never come
G7 C
That I can't awake to the sound of a drum,
C Dm
Never let me miss carnival
C G7 C
With calypso songs philosophical.
