Island In the Sun - Allie Castina, Tommy scott triplett & Daniel Schumacher

They named it the rock Land of the living dead A repose for the rich and famous All the infamous would tell each other's lies Why did they want to tell the truth On an island in the sun Cool Pacific winds blow Most were poets And they wrote in basic prose On the walls of their Sunset Boulevard In their nine by five rooms became inspired By the silence in sight of the city On an island in the sun Cool Pacific winds blow Just across the bay Battered by the waves On an island in the sun Cool Pacific winds blow Just across the bay Battered by the waves

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 sand 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 below 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 sand I see woman on bended knee Cutting cane for her family I see man at the waterside Casting nets at the surging tide 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 sand I hope the day will never come That I can't awake to the sound of drum Never let me miss carnival With calypso songs philosophical 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 sand

When you're on a holiday You can't find the words to say All the things that come to you And I wanna feel it too On an island in the sun We'll be playin' and havin' fun And it makes me feel so fine I can't control my brain On an island in the sun We'll be playin' and havin' fun And it makes me feel so fine I can't control my brain When you're on a golden sea You don't need no memory Just a place to call your own As we drift into the zone On an island in the sun We'll be playin' and havin' fun And it makes me feel so fine I can't control my brain On an island in the sun We'll be playin' and havin' fun And it makes me feel so fine I can't control my brain As we drift into the zone On an island in the sun We'll be playin' and havin' fun And it makes me feel so fine I can't control my brain
