Island In The Sun -Joan Baez (·贝兹) Written by :H.Belafonte /Burgess 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 Oh island in the sun Built 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 earthly low Oh island in the sun Will to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest waters Your shining sand There's woman on bended knee Cutting cane for her family A man stand at the water side Casting nets at the surfing tide Oh island in the sun Will to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest waters Your shining sand
