The sea will wash against the rock
The rock stands strong, the rock is strong The sea will wash against the rock But before too long the rock is gone The wind will blow against the stone The stone stands strong, the stone is strong The wind will blow against the stone but before too long the stone is gone Patience gentlemen, we move closer every day Patience gentlemen, the stone will soon give way Chorus We are the wave, We are the flow We are the wind And soon the rock must go We are the wave, We are the flow We are the wind And soon the rock must go You cannot hold back the tide The tide must rise the tide must rise It's the law of earth and skies The tide will rise, the tide will rise It's as natural as day to night As day to night, day to night As natural as black and white Black and white, black and white Patience gentlemen, the flower can grow up through the stone Patience gentlemen, it's a truth that we have always known |

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 forest, 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 Mingles my sweat with the earth below chorus 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 waters side Casting nets at the surging tide chorus 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 chorus 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 |

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and grain was yellow Try to remember the kind of September When you were a young and callow fellow Try to remember and if you remember Then follow, follow, follow Try to remember when life was so tender And no one wept except the willow Try to remember when life was so tender And dreams were kept beside your pillow Try to remember when life was so tender When love was an ember about to billow Try to remember and if you remember Then follow, follow Deep in December it's nice to remember Although you know the snow will follow Deep in December, it's nice to remember Without a hurt, the heart is hollow Deep in December, it's nice to remember The fire of September, that made us mellow Deep in December our hearts should remember And follow...follow Background solo by Arthur Williams, Demetrius Harvey, Anthony Mills or ... |

In Jamaica, Calypso isle,
ev'rybody dancing with a happy smile. All but a young man along the pier, he had a song to sing that was sad to hear: I must sail away across the sea, leave the girl, who only loves me. Although I say "Farewell Jamaica" today, I know that I'll come back to her another day. Down the way where the nights are gay and the sun shines daily on the mountain top, I took a trip on a sailing ship and when I reached Jamaica I made a stop. But I'm sad to say I'm on my way, won't be back for many a day. My heart is down, my head is turning around, I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. Sounds of laughter everywhere and the dancing girls swaying to and fro. I must declare my heart is there although I've been from Maine to Mexico. But I'm sad to say I'm on my way, won't be back for many a day. My heart is down, my head is turning around, I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. |
