Paragons - Island In The Sun
Where my people has toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
This shore will always be home to me
Oh, island in the sun
Gave to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters and shining sun
As morning breaks the heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mix my sweat with the earth below
Oh, island in the sun
Gave to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters and shining sun
I saw women on bended knees
Cutting cane for their family
I saw men at the waterside
Casting nets at the surfing tide
Oh, island in the sun
Gave to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters and shining sun
I pray the day might never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drums
Ever leave me in this carnival
To sing calypso song in the tropical
Oh, island in the sun
Gave to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters and shining sun
