Oh Island in the sun

Oh Island in the sun where handcart men scream at pedestrians,
and higglers curse for touching without buying,
Oh Island in the sun where taxi men fighting over passengers,

Oh Island in the sun where children are free to walk miles to and from
school shouting and playing, where high school children crowd the
bathroom to wash face and clean shoes and fix up all day long to
go home,

Oh Island in the sun where Rasta man smoke weed from sun up till sun down and
try to convert 'ball heads' Oh Island where everything shut down on
Sundays and after all holiday you get the Monday,

Oh Island in the sun where you have to truly live to know that not
everywhere has white sand beaches!
