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
CHORUS
And now I can be free within these winds of
change
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
