I’d been asked several times to record this song anew with my own vocals – and until now resisted the temptation. But it’s been great fun to record and release with a fresh perspective.
Scotland's Calling

V1
There’s a break in the cloud
Where the sun casts its beam
Like the ray that awakes you
When bound by a dream
A light through the gloom
Flowing down as a stream
Its a glimpse of the land that awaits you
V2
Where the dawn of the day
Meets the song of the wild
And the music uplifts
As it laughs like a child
Where the clasp of a hand
Meets the warmth of a smile
Where the spirit of life is upon you
Chorus
Scotlands calling
Scotlands calling
Calling, Calling, You home
V3
There’s a calm in the wind
With the sun breaking through
And the warmth of its smile
Still reminds me of you
Where the rampant red lion
Meets a saltire on blue
Is a land full of passion and pride
Chorus
Scotlands calling (Scotland)
Scotlands calling (Scotland)
Calling, Calling, You home
