This is my island in the sun, Where my people have toiled since time begun; Though I may sail on many a sea Her shores will always be home to me. (Chorus) Oh, island in the sun, Willed to me by my father's hand. All my days I will sing in praise Of your forests, waters, your shining sand. When morning breaks the heaven on high I lift my heavy load to the sky; Sun comes down with a burning glow That mingles my sweat with the earth below. I see a woman on bended knee, Cutting cane for her family. I see a man at the waterside, Casting nets at the surging tide.

The song begins with "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." | ||
