[00:00.00]Island In the Sun (Remastered) - Harry Belafonte/Bob Corman's Orchestra & Chorus
[00:01.96]Oh island in the sun
[00:06.11]Willed to me by my father's hand
[00:10.07]
[00:10.70]All my days I will sing in praise
[00:14.98]Of your forest waters your shining sand
[00:20.17]
[00:25.26]As morning breaks the heaven on high
[00:29.79]I lift my heavy load to the sky
[00:33.66]
[00:34.40]Sun comes down with a burning glow
[00:38.57]Mingles my sweat with the earth below
[00:42.89]
[00:43.87]Oh island in the sun
[00:47.63]Willed to me by my father's hand
[00:51.65]
[00:52.18]All my days I will sing in praise
[00:56.15]Of your forest waters your shining sand
[01:02.21]
[01:06.55]I see woman on bended knee
[01:10.33]
[01:11.16]Cutting cane for her family
[01:14.70]
[01:15.44]I see man at the waterside
[01:20.00]Casting nets at the surging tide
[01:23.86]
[01:24.76]Oh island in the sun
[01:28.57]Willed to me by my father's hand
[01:33.02]All my days I will sing in praise
[01:37.18]Of your forest waters your shining sand
[01:42.94]
[01:47.36]I hope the day will never come
[01:50.86]
[01:51.57]When I can't awake to the sound of drum
[01:55.62]Never let me miss carnival
[02:00.07]With calypso songs philosophical
[02:03.80]
[02:05.37]Oh island in the sun
[02:08.68]
[02:09.25]Willed to me by my father's hand
[02:12.96]
[02:13.69]All my days I will sing in praise
[02:17.57]Of your forest waters your shining sand
