Distant Son - Dougie MacLean

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

And now I can be free

Within these winds of change

It wildly comes to me

Unfolding endlessly

I have been opened me the restless one

You give me paths of rock to walk upon

And in the shelter of the Traigh Hennish sand

You give me gentle shore on which to land

And now I can be free

Within these winds of change

It wildly comes to me

Unfolding endlessly

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

And now I can be free

Within these winds of change

It wildly comes to me

Unfolding endlessly
