By land over the highlands
I've walked run and swam A journey to the past where one can still get a decent cup of tea Mountain ranges Boggy depths Unsettled visitas as far as the eye could see History retained in the names Sounds of the mountains Captured in a procession down main street Where the junior leaders practice for the future Future generations bought to appreciate the space A reminder of life without wifi People still get by Two full weeks Just enough to release An escape? An invitation! An affirmation A chance to look into the past, think on the future, appreciate the present Sunset portals over distant islands lead the way to magic One of the homes of power What a joy to behold New family's first visit What a joy to hold Full fledged peaceful pledge I offer thanks and gratitude Oh dear Highlands, I must confess, thou dost impress and make my mood improve From grim to grin And sad to glad We got it pretty good Through locks and Beins By land over highland This peace I do Salute
