Lyrics
Oh the summer sky, wind on my skin, mountain tops oh so high
In the land of my birth there's a stirring now, A stirring oh so profound
Oh I'm just a lowly bard telling tales of the days, gone before
But I'll tell you this there's a stirring now, A stirring oh so profound

And the songs tell of Scotland the brave
And brave the soldiers must be
There's a new tyranny on the doorstep
There's a new enemy we must face
It's the enemy, ah within us
And it's holding us back, holding us down
Scotland must rise above it
Throw down your swords, let brothers, be brothers again

To the man with a blade in his hand why did you strike down your brother
To the man with a blade in his hand he was nae sae different fae you
Will you tell his children, oh your daddy's nae coming home
For his brother has killed him, it was all for the sake of a blade
