Island in the Sun - Vanua Levu
Written by:Harry Belafonte/Lord Burgess
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
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 earth below
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
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
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
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
