Have our Scottish hearts Shrunk in the fields Of foreign rule Are we not greater Than the fears ****** on us Have we become mice That scurry and hide Only tempted out by cheese Laid in many traps Are we content To live in the shadows Of our neighbors ambition
I am not saying Lets bury our minds And drown in an Optimistic ignorance For we are all grown up And know the risks Are our abilities so short And our hearts so weak That we may be bold Over so easily Can we not find the strength To fill our wobbly knees Yes we all carry fear Like all free men But like William Wallace We are not defined by our fear For we stand tall and proud And our honest hearts Speak to us of Scottish potential Much greater than fear
Do we not under estimate ourselves Have we forgotten our heights and depths As Scottish potential lies Imprinted in the skies By the Scottish highlands And our emotional depths And resources remain hidden Undiscovered in our many Silent locks scattered Throughout our land And is not our toughness with an Almost stubborn hardiness not found Abundantly within our heather While golden eagles glide A silent over seeing eye Who breaths a Scottish clarity
For I cry as rich men Still seek to steal Our many golden eggs From the governor of the sky Our most gracious Golden Eagle So let all protect All that is precious in Scotland And let us cleanse our Minds in the clear highland air As we purge our hearts With Scottish beauty And release the stags That will drive out the Many money lenders That stifle our being
So let us all join together As we are bound in the eternal And not by pen or sword And as we rediscover ourselves We find our united voice Of Scottish freedom
