Solid Ground |
Down the Buckney den the burn crashes brown from |
The Autumn spate |
The spreading hazels rustle as they bend and sway |
As they laden wait |
My fathers they have walked this road |
And now I know |
And yes didn’t they know |
There is no great and heavy load |
And now I know |
And yes didn’t they know |
Fa la-a la la la-a |
We stand on Solid Ground on Solid Ground |
Fa la-a la la la-a |
We stand on Solid Ground |
Across the Arlick face the amber sun beats down |
To tinge the vivid green |
I hear it wide and loud, feel it wild and proud, |
The way it’s always been |
My fathers they have looked this way |
And now I know |
And yes didn’t they know |
No clever words we have to say |
And now I know |
And yes didn’t they know |
Fa la-a la la la-a |
We stand on Solid Ground on Solid Ground |
Fa la-a la la la-a |
We stand on Solid Ground |
It’s the land-it is our wisdom |
It’s the land-it shines us through |
It’s the land-it feeds our children |
It’s the land-you cannot own the land |
The land owns you |
Where is the honest truth? |
Where is the open road? |
Where is the simple smile? |
A couthie word or two for the passing stranger |
Who may rest a while |
My fathers they have said these things |
And now I know |
And yes didn’t they know |
The joy that shared friendship brings |
And now I know |
And yes didn’t they know |
Fa la-a la la la-a |
We stand on Solid Ground on Solid Ground |
Fa la-a la la la-a |
We stand on Solid Ground |
It’s the land-it is our wisdom |
It’s the land-it shines us through |
It’s the land-it feeds our children |
It’s the land-you cannot own the land |
The land owns you |
