OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time began
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me
Allemande and weave
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
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*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
*I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression
Heads (Sides) square thru and count it 4 hands around
Dosado the corner one time 'round, make a wave
Girl trade, recycle and then
Veer to the left and ferris wheel 'round and now
Centers pass thru, touch 1/4, scoot back
Swing that girl and you promenade on back
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
