Lyrics

Standing in the mist last night
Caught by the winter rain
That fell on the ghosts of the city
I felt I was home again
I could almost hear ancient melodies
The skirl, and the pibroch's pride
But they were lost in the cries of the children
And the hearts where hope has died

From the highlands to harbor towns
Barra to Culloden's plain
You are fair and wild, bittersweet
Lovely land, a land of pain
God knows you were a fighter
All in your younger days
But God knows how kingdoms come and go
And how hard to rise again

But I know Someone who wants you
I know Someone who loves you
I know Someone who knows your name
Someone who knows your name

A passionate heart in each one burns
A love that's fierce and warm
Solid you stand in wind and rain
As the mountains within the storm
Each of you, sons and daughters
Has a destiny
In Someone who died, who rose up again
And in Him will your lives be free
