Here
hangs an open landscape
A wild and huge frontier
From a harsh
and a barren wasteland
Through the grave to the promised
field
You came, you trapped, you charted
You laid the
railroads and the schemes
And you tamed this land by
enterprise
And by the power of your dreams
But you made
this Clan great
And you made this nation bloom
And you
rose
With your people through the new world
Like a rocket to
the moon
From the olden coasts of Ireland
From the
Hebridean shores
With the forgotten chosen ones
Running from
Europe in droves
Refrain
There's a town in
Manitoba
They say the windows touch the sky
But across the
brine the shipyards close
In this garden flowers die
Still
the homelands divide us
Like your blood red brothers of the
plains
But where they grieve a candle still burns
A prayer from
a flicker to a flame
Refrain
Von Calum und Rory Macdonald
