This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many sea
Her shores will always be home to me

Oh island in the sun
Built to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sands

Oh island in the sun
Built to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sands

As morning breaks the Heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below

Oh island in the sun
Built to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sands

Oh island in the sun
Built to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sands

I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide

Oh island in the sun
Built to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sands

I hope the day will never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drums
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical

Oh island in the sun
Built to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sands

Oh island in the sun
Built to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters, your shining sands
