Harry Belafonte

Oh, island in the sun<br /> Willed to me by my father's hand<br /> All my days I will sing in praise<br /> Of your forest, waters, your shining sandAs morning breaks the heaven on high<br /> I lift my heavy load to the sky<br /> Sun comes down with a burning glow<br /> Mingles my sweat with the earth belowOh, island in the sun<br /> Willed to me by my father's hand<br /> All my days I will sing in praise<br /> Of your forest, waters, your shining sandI see woman on bended knee<br /> Cutting cane for her family<br /> I see man at the waterside<br /> Casting nets at the surging tideOh, island in the sun<br /> Willed to me by my father's hand<br /> All my days I will sing in praise<br /> Of your forest, waters, your shining sandI hope the day will never come<br /> When I can't awake to the sound of drum<br /> Never let me miss carnival<br /> With calypso songs philosophicalOh, island in the sun<br /> Willed to me by my father's hand<br /> All my days I will sing in praise<br /> Of your forest, waters, your shining sandOoh<br /> Ooh<br /> Ooh<br /> Ooh<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> IRVING BURGIE, HARRY BELAFONTEPublished by<br /> Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc., Reservoir One Music, RESERVOIR MEDIA MANAGEMENT INC, BMG RIGHTS MANAGEMENT US, LLC, NEXT DECADE ENTERTAINMENT,INC.
