100% Independence

—————————————

I am not British

I am Scottish

Britain no more

Independence is what we want

No United Kingdom

No Great Britain

Alba gu Brath

Born Scottish

Live Scottish

Die Scottish

I am not British I am Scottish

Freedom of speech is my right

I do not want a fight

Release your hold

Freedom of speech is my right

No United Kingdom

No Great Britain

Scotland for freedom

Give us our freedom

1880

——————

Oh when I was three

Way back in ‘73

They opened the bridge across the way

There it stood till that fateful day in 1880

When the storm did blow battering the bridge to and fro

And lo and behold on that fateful day

The bridge across the way fiercely did sway

Till it gave way and crashed into the Tay

In place of the bridge that was swept away into the Tay

Stands a new one till this day

Alba the Brave

———————————-

Snow peaked mountains glisten

In the midday sun

What a sight to behold

Walking in the peaceful afternoon

Shh just listen

This lands for me

Where my ancestors cried freedom

I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else

Country steeped in history

Come visit you will see

Proud nation

This country is great

Freedom we still cry

Give Alba her independence

Government pay attention

Alone

—————

Feel so alone

Can’t escape these feelings

Can you give me sanctuary?

Feel so alone

Lonely days

Phoney people

Lonely days

Phoney people

Need to get away

Going to follow the brightest star

Till I am far away

Away from this hell hole

Feel so alone

Need to find a home

A place to belong

Hope it won’t be long

Am I Really Evil?

—————————-

Fed up being mistreated

Sick of being defeated

Always being made out to be the bad one

No wonder I feel like the sad one

Now I got you

I never want to lose you

I am yours for life

So wish you could be my wife

Ancient Loch

———————-

Cool jeweled moon

Soft golden sand

We walk hand in hand

Lay our blanket on the soft golden sand

Light our camp fire

Snuggle up beneath the moon

I stare into your eyes

Flames dance from the camp fire

Another War

——————————-

Another bloody war

More destruction

And what for?

Battered bodies

Blood and tears shed

Does nobody care?

Heartache and pain

Children orphaned

Women widowed

More innocent
