[00:00.00]Island In the Sun - Harry Belafonte
[00:01.91]Oh island in the sun
[00:06.06]Willed to me by my father's hand
[00:10.02]
[00:10.65]All my days I will sing in praise
[00:14.93]Of your forest waters your shining sand
[00:20.12]
[00:25.21]As morning breaks the heaven on high
[00:29.74]I lift my heavy load to the sky
[00:33.61]
[00:34.35]Sun comes down with a burning glow
[00:38.52]Mingles my sweat with the earth below
[00:42.84]
[00:43.82]Oh island in the sun
[00:47.57]Willed to me by my father's hand
[00:51.60]
[00:52.13]All my days I will sing in praise
[00:56.10]Of your forest waters your shining sand
[01:02.16]
[01:06.49]I see woman on bended knee
[01:10.28]
[01:11.11]Cutting cane for her family
[01:14.65]
[01:15.39]I see man at the waterside
[01:19.95]Casting nets at the surging tide
[01:23.81]
[01:24.71]Oh island in the sun
[01:28.52]Willed to me by my father's hand
[01:32.97]All my days I will sing in praise
[01:37.13]Of your forest waters your shining sand
[01:42.89]
[01:47.31]I hope the day will never come
[01:50.81]
[01:51.52]When I can't awake to the sound of drum
[01:55.57]Never let me miss carnival
[02:00.02]With calypso songs philosophical
[02:03.75]
[02:05.32]Oh island in the sun
[02:08.63]
[02:09.20]Willed to me by my father's hand
[02:12.91]
[02:13.64]All my days I will sing in praise
[02:17.52]Of your forest waters your shining sand
