Lyrics Highland Cathedral - The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

Highland Cathedral

There is a land far from this distant shore
Where heather grows and Highland eagles soar
There is a land that will live ever more
Deep in my heart, my Bonnie Scotland
Though I serve so far away
I still see your streams, cities and dreams
I can’t wait until the day
When I’ll come home once more
And so Lord keep me from the harm of war
Through all its dangers and the battle’s roar
Keep me safe until I’m home once more
Home to my own in Bonnie Scotland
Land of our fathers, we will always be
Faithful and loyal to our own country
In times of danger, we will set you free
Lead you to glory and to victory
Hail, Caledonia, to our ancient prayer
Joining, together, with one dream to share
God bless the people of this land so fair
Gone is the past, let us start anew
Let this hope of peace, always remain
Spirit of Scotia, be strong and true
Then your children will smile again, again, again, again
Rise, Caledonia, let your voices ring
In this Highland Cathedral of our God and King
Whom, joy and liberty, to all, will bring
Come;
let your heart, with love and courage, sing
Lonely the exile, o’er distant seas
The home of their birth, gone from their eyes
Bring back their souls o’er the ocean breeze
To the land where their fathers lie
