Island in the Sun - Larry The Mento Boys
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 waters
Your shining sand
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 earthly low
Oh island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest waters
Your shining sand
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the water side
Casting nets at the surfing 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 waters
Your shining sand
I hope the day will never come
When I come be awake to the sound of drum
Never let me and carnaval
With calypso songs
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 waters
Your shining sand
Sweet
Do see you Island in the Sun
