Original Trinidad Steel Band - Island in the sun 1993

Original Trinidad Steel Band - Island in the sun 1993
Original by Harry Belafonte 1957
This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, your waters, your shining sand
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man by the waterside
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, your waters, your shining sand
(Instrumental)
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, your waters, your shining sand
I pray the day will never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs and 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, your waters, your shining sand
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, your waters, your shining sand
