ISLAND IN THE SUN

-Harry Belafonte

4/4 1...2...1234

-Irving Burgie

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 sands

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 be-low

CHORUS

I see woman on bended knee,

cutting cane for her family

I see man at the water side,

casting nets at the surging tide.

CHORUS
