From the island of the mountains to the hills across Argyll
With a heart that is so broken with every weary mile
And he'll never hear the whisper of his Hebridean wind
Or the thunder of the ocean as the Minch comes tumbling in
Chorus
He's holding out, he's holding out
Chorus
These chains have not been broken and our freedom is not won
And though many words are spoken we still wander weary on
And there are a hundred questions and a thousand reasons why
But our answers they are somewhere in the Hebridean sky
Chorus
With a heart that is so broken with every weary mile
And he'll never hear the whisper of his Hebridean wind
Or the thunder of the ocean as the Minch comes tumbling in
Chorus
He's holding out, he's holding out
Chorus
These chains have not been broken and our freedom is not won
And though many words are spoken we still wander weary on
And there are a hundred questions and a thousand reasons why
But our answers they are somewhere in the Hebridean sky
