Distant Son |
| I have been strengthened, me your distant son |
| You fill my sails with winds to move me on |
| And on the swell of the great Atlantic sea |
| I find forgotten roots to steady me |
| And now I can be free |
| Within these winds of change |
| It wildly comes to me |
| Unfolding endlessly |
| I have been opened me the restless one |
| You give me paths of rock to walk upon |
| And in the shelter of the Traigh Hennish sand |
| You give me gentle shore on which to land |
| And now I can be free |
| Within these winds of change |
| It wildly comes to me |
| Unfolding endlessly |
| When island signs meet with others from the shore |
| We sail through channels deep like those who’ve gone before |
| And in the clear of the Hebridean night |
| We turn her head round sailing out of sight |
| And now I can be free |
| Within these winds of change |
| It wildly comes to me |
| Unfolding endlessly |
