Wake up to the sun, it's another bright day,
Montego Bay to the shores where we lay.
White sand beaches where the palm trees sway,
Mango in the breeze, come whisk me away.

Island in the sun, where my heart feels so free,
Ocho Rios dreams, waves singing to me.
Mountains and rivers, a paradise found,
In Jamaica, my love, where good vibes abound.

Island, Island in the Sun -
Jamaica, that's what we call you.

Sailing through the waters of Negril it's so clear,
Fish dance below, the horizon is near.
Bammie by the fire, the stars shine so bright,
Laughing and singing through the tropical night.

Irie feelings under the moon's glow,
Rhythms of the island, in the current that we flow.
Adventure in the woods where the wild rivers roam,
Jamaica, Jamaica, my heart’s forever home.

Island, Island in the Sun -
Jamaica, that's what we call you.

Island vibes in the air making all worries go.
Wrapped in the warmth of the island's charm.
With sweet reggae music playing all around, singing...

Island, Island in the Sun -
Jamaica, that's what we call you.
