Sun Of Jamaica
Michael Beaven and Band Lyrics

Long time ago, when I was a young boy
Reflecting back to my youth and how my dreams were shaped by a particular movie.

I saw that movie "Mutiny on the Bounty"
This movie had a profound impact on my sense of adventure and the beauty of the tropics.

Starring my idol, Marlon Brando
The actor playing the lead character in the movie made it all the more special for me.

And I felt a yearning for that great adventure
The movie instilled in me a desire to experience the adventure and excitement of exploring new places.

So many nights I woke up out of a dream
I have been haunted by visions of beautiful tropical landscapes, vast oceans, and stunning wildlife on many occasions.

A dream of blue seas, white sands
My subconscious is filled with visions of idyllic beaches surrounded by crystal-clear blue water.

Paradise birds, butterflies
Tropical birds and butterflies are a constant presence in my dreams, reminding me of the beauty of nature.

And beautiful warm-hearted girls
The people I meet in my dreams are always kind, welcoming, and eager to share the beauty of their culture with me.

Sun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika
The Caribbean island of Jamaica is the personification of all the tropical paradise imagery that is dear to me, and Malaika is the embodiment of the beauty of the Jamaican culture.

Our love is my sweet memory
The love between myself and Malaika is the most precious thing in my life, and it is a memory that I cherish deeply.

Someday I'll return, wait and see
I am eager to return to Jamaica and to reunite with Malaika, and I believe that it will happen someday.

Walk in the sand and I'm happy with you
The simple pleasures of walking hand in hand with Malaika along the beach fill me with joy and contentment.

We shall be loving and true
Our love is true and we will always be devoted to one another.

Oh, I sure love Malaika with all of my heart
My love for Malaika is deep, true, and abiding, and I am committed to her with every fiber of my being.

But now as I grew older
As time went on, the desire to return to Jamaica and to be reunited with Malaika only grew stronger.

This burning desire became so strong
The longing to see Jamaica again and to be with Malaika became an all-consuming passion for me.

That I bought me a ticket to fly home
I took action to make my dream a reality by purchasing a plane ticket to Jamaica.

And then I found you
Upon arriving in Jamaica, I was fortunate enough to meet Malaika, the love of my life.

And we fell in an eternal love
Our love for one another is deep, abiding, and eternal, and it has only grown stronger with time.

Right from the beginning
The instant we met, we knew that we were meant to be together forever.

The stars falling down from the smoothing lagoon
As we swam in the crystal-clear water under the moonlight, the stars seemed to be falling from the sky and into the water around us, creating a magical ambiance.

The palms swaying under the moon
The sound of the wind rustling through the palm trees in the cool night air only added to the idyllic atmosphere.

We were swimming out into the calm and crystal sea
As we swam farther and farther from shore, we felt completely free and at peace, surrounded by the stunning beauty of the sea.

In that fateful night I thought to myself
As we swam under the stars, I made a promise to myself that I would save every penny to make my return to Jamaica with Malaika a permanent one.

I'll do everything I can, save up every dime
I am willing to make whatever sacrifices are necessary in order to return to Jamaica and to stay there with Malaika forever.

And one day I'll return, come back home to you
I am certain that I will return to Jamaica to be with Malaika and to make the Caribbean my permanent home.

And then I'll stay forever, forever
I am determined to make my return to Jamaica a permanent one, and to spend the rest of my life with Malaika in the tropical paradise that we both love so much.
