Down the Buckney den the burn crashes brown from The Autumn spate The spreading hazels rustle as they bend and sway As they laden wait My fathers they have walked this road And now I know And yes didn't they know There is no great and heavy load And now I know And yes didn't they know
Fa la-a la la la-a We stand on Solid Ground on Solid Ground Fa la-a la la la-a We stand on Solid Ground
Across the Arlick face the amber sun beats down To tinge the vivid green I hear it wide and loud, feel it wild and proud, The way it's always been My fathers they have looked this way And now I know And yes didn't they know No clever words we have to say And now I know And yes didn't they know
Fa la-a la la la-a We stand on Solid Ground on Solid Ground Fa la-a la la la-a We stand on Solid Ground
It's the land-it is our wisdom It's the land-it shines us through It's the land-it feeds our children It's the land-you cannot own the land The land owns you
Where is the honest truth? Where is the open road? Where is the simple smile? A couthie word or two for the passing stranger Who may rest a while My fathers they have said these things And now I know And yes didn't they know The joy that shared friendship brings And now I know And yes didn't they know
Fa la-a la la la-a We stand on Solid Ground on Solid Ground Fa la-a la la la-a We stand on Solid Ground
It's the land-it is our wisdom It's the land-it shines us through It's the land-it feeds our children It's the land-you cannot own the land The land owns you copyright <a href=\"http://elyrics.net\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://elyrics.net</a>
