Island In The Sun - Ver 2

C F This is my island in the sun G7 C Where my people have toiled since time begun. C Dm I may sail on many a sea C G7 C Her shores will always be home to me. C F Oh, island in the sun, G7 C Willed to me by my father's hand C F All my days I will sing in praise G7 C Of your forests, waters, your shining sands. C F As morning breaks the heaven on high G7 C I lift my heavy load to the sky. C Dm Sun comes down with a burning glow C G7 C Mingles my sweat with the earth below. C F I see woman on bended knee G7 C Cutting cane for her family. C Dm I see man at the water side C G7 C Casting nets at the surging tide. C F I hope the day will never come G7 C That I can't awake to the sound of a drum, C Dm Never let me miss carnival C G7 C With calypso songs philosophical.
