THIS LAND
As the mist rolls through the meadow
As the sun falls from the sky
The moon waits by a distant hill
For the fire clouds to die
The birds have stopped their singing
As a piece falls on the land
The Atlantic by the coastline
Whispers gently to the sand
And this is my land
From border to highland
From ocean to sea
This land belongs to me
Everything that can be seen and touched
Holds an value and worth
From the Islands on the north side
Where the waves break on the surf
The beauty of the highlands
All the way from east to west
There’s a magic stirs within my head
But I’m sure my heart knows best
And this is my land
From border to highland
From ocean to sea
This land belongs to me
Each mountain, each meadow
Each stone in the stream
The glens and the woodland
This land belongs to me
I tell you this my friends
Please believe me that it’s true
Although this is my land
This land belongs to you
And this is our land
From border to highland
From ocean to sea
This land belongs to me
Each mountain, each meadow
Each stone in the stream
The glens and the woodland
This land belongs to me

Cal - Emotion Overload

EMOTION OVERLOAD
I’m lost for words, I can’t unlock my pain
It keeps running through my mind over and over again
I try to speak, my lips won’t move
Inside my head I hear the words that I can’t say to you
Baby I love you, I’ll always be right here
Willing to hold you, until the end of time
Set it free, let it flow
If you love someone with all your heart, you’ve got to let them know
Shout it out, from the mountain tops
once you let your love flow free, the flow will never stop
Baby I love you, I’ll always be right here
Willing to hold you, until the end of time
Baby I want you, I would give my hears and soul
For one chance to kiss you
For you I’d give my world
Inside my head, an eruption blows
I can’t help myself, I can’t hold back, this emotion overload
I swear to you, before this day is done
Everyone will hear these words rolling off my tongue
Baby I love you, I’ll always be right here
Willing to hold you, until the end of time
Baby I want you, I would give my hears and soul
For one chance to kiss you
For you I’d give my world
For you I’d give my world

THE COLOURS OF SCOTLAND
IF THERE'S AN OPEN ROAD, IF MY SAILS WERE HIGH
IF I COULD SPREAD MY WINGS, I'D TAKE TO FLIGHT
I'D ALWAYS FIND MY WAY, BACK TO WHERE MY HEART BELONGS
WHERE THE PASSION RUNS HIGH AND THE LOVE IS STRONG
EVER SINCE JUST A BOY, THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF ME
FOR NO OTHER LAND COULD BOAST SUCH HISTORY
AND NOW I KNOW, THIS WILL ALWAYS BE THE WAY I FEEL
AND NOW I KNOW, I'M LIVING OUT THE DREAM
FOR WHEREVER I TRAVEL
WHEREVER I ROAM
THE COLOURS OF SCOTLAND
KEEP CALLING ME HOME
NO ROAD IS TOO LONG
NO OCEAN TOO WIDE
TO RETURN TO MY HOMELAND
FILLS ME WITH PRIDE
NOW IF I HAD THE CHANCE TO BE, ANYWHERE I WANT TO BE
I WOULDN'T NEED MUCH TIME TO THINK IT THROUGH
FOR SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE OF ME, IS ALWAYS GUIDING ME
AND NO OTHER LAND COULD MAKE ME FEEL THE WAY I DO
CHORUS X 2. -
I’M COMING HOME - - - I’M COMING HOME

Cal_ - Set Youself Free
03:48
|

|
SET YOURSELF FREE
I GAVE UP CHASING RAINBOWS, A LONG, LONG TIME AGO
I NEVER LOOK BACK DOWN THE PATH I WAS BEFORE
EVERYTHING I’M LOOKING FOR IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME
I MIGHT NOT LIVE THE FAIRYTALE BUT IT’S HOW IT’S MEANT TO BE
LIFE IS FULL OF STORIES, CHAPTER, VERSE AND LINE
BUT IT’S YOU WHO WRITES THE ENDINGS,
WITH EVERY STEP OF TIME
YESTERDAY IS HISTORY, TOMORROW’S FULL OF DOUBT
TODAY IS WHERE YOU’RE AT RIGHT NOW, SO YOU’VE GOT TO MAKE IT COUNT
SO RAISE YOUR HANDS
SING ALONG WITH ME
OPEN UP YOUR HEART
SET YOURSELF FREE
NOW I’VE TURNED ANOTHER CORNER, TO WHERE I DO NOT KNOW
I’LL JUST ENJOY THE MOMENT, GO WITH THE FLOW
IF I STUMBLE ON THAT RAINBOW
AND SLIDE DOWN THE OTHER SIDE
I WON’T FIND NO POT OF GOLD BUT I’LL BE SATISFIED
SO RAISE YOUR VOICE
SING ALONG WITH ME
OPEN UP YOUR HEART
SET YOURSELF FREE
SO RAISE YOUR HAND
WHAT WILL BE WILL BE
OPEN UP YOUR HEART
SET YOURSELF FREE
YESTERDAY IS HISTORY, TOMORROW IS A MYSTERY
I’M LIVING LIFE FOR WHAT IT IS TODAY
YESTERDAY IS HISTORY, TOMORROW IS A MYSTERY
I’M LOVING LIFE IN EVERY SINGLE WAY
SO RAISE YOUR VOICE
SING ALONG WITH ME
OPEN UP YOUR HEART
SET YOURSELF FREE
SO RAISE YOUR HAND
WHAT WILL BE WILL BE
OPEN UP YOUR HEART
SET YOURSELF FREE

Cal - Familiar Ground
03:36

FAMILIAR GROUND
THE MOUNTAINS THAT WE FACE IN LIFE
GET STEEPER AS THE YEARS GO BY
WE CHASE OUR DREAMS BUT NEVER REALISE
THERE ARE TIMES WE LIVE A LIE
OUR PRECIOUS TIME WE JEOPARDIZE
I LOOK AT ALL I HAVE, I’M SATISFIED
ALL I NEED IS FAMILIAR GROUND
TO MAKE ME FEEL AT HOME
WHEN I HEAR A FAMILIAR SOUND
I KNOW I’M NOT ALONE
WHERE THE GRASS IS LONG AND THE TREES ARE GREEN
WHERE A SILVER STREAM FLOWS IN BETWEEN
ALL I NEED IS ALL I HAVE
FOR SCOTLAND IS MY HOME
I TAKE STOCK OF WHAT I HAVE
DON’T THINK ABOUT WHAT I MIGHT HAVE HAD
FOR THERE’S NOTHING THAT MY LIFE HAS GONE WITHOUT
I’VE TAKEN GOOD TIMES WITH THE BAD
I’VE BEEN HAPPY, I’VE BEEN SAD
BUT THE PRECIOUS THINGS IN LIFE YOU JUST CAN’T BUY
ALL I NEED IS FAMILIAR GROUND
TO MAKE ME FEEL AT HOME
WHEN I HEAR A FAMILIAR SOUND
I KNOW I’M NOT ALONE
WHERE THE GRASS IS LONG AND THE TREES ARE GREEN
WHERE A SILVER STREAM FLOWS IN BETWEEN
ALL I NEED IS ALL I HAVE
FOR SCOTLAND IS MY HOME
THE COLOURS OF SUMMER
GOLDEN FIELDS OF CORN AND GRAIN
THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER
BIRDS SINGING IN THE SUMMER RAIN
ALL I NEED IS FAMILIAR GROUND
TO MAKE ME FEEL AT HOME
WHEN I HEAR A FAMILIAR SOUND
I KNOW I’M NOT ALONE
WHERE THE GRASS IS LONG AND THE TREES ARE GREEN
WHERE A SILVER STREAM FLOWS IN BETWEEN
ALL I NEED IS ALL I HAVE
FOR SCOTLAND IS MY HOME X 2

Cal - Chorus Of Spring

CHORUS OF SPRING
OH OH
WATCHING THE RIVER, I FOLLOW THE FLOW
TWISTING AND TURNING IN CIRCLING POOLS
SHIMMERING SILVER OR HEAVY AND WHITE
SINGING IT’S CHORUS ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT
SOUNDS LIKE A HEARTBEAT HOLDING ON TO LIFE
CRASHING LIKE THUNDER WITH FLASHES OF LIGHT
HOLDING THE RHYTHM TO THE SONG THAT IT SINGS
IT ALL COMES TOGETHER IN THE CHORUS OF SPRING
SO I DANCE TO THE BEAT OF THE WATER
I DANCE TO THE SONG THAT IT SINGS
I DANCE TO THE CALLING OF SUMMER
I DANCE TO THE CHORUS OF SPRING
THE FIELDS COME ALIVE NOW THAT WINTER HAS GONE
TO START THE NEW DAY JOIN THE CHORUS OF DAWN
THE SUN SITTING HIGH, SUMMERS CALLING US ON
ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT, NATURE SINGING IT’S SONG
SO I DANCE TO THE BEAT OF THE WATER
I DANCE TO THE SONG THAT IT SINGS
I DANCE TO THE CALLING OF SUMMER
I DANCE TO THE CHORUS OF SPRING -
THE CHORUS OF SPRING -- OH

Cal - End Of Summer
03:46
|

|
THE END OF SUMMER
I CAN FEEL THE AUTUMN CLOSING IN
THOUGH THE SUN IS SITTING HIGH
IT A BEAUTIFUL DAY
GETTING COLD BY NIGHT
DAYLIGHT COMES AND GOES TOO FAST
ONLY HALF THE WORK IS DONE
THEN THE NIGHT FALLS LIKE A VALE
BLOCKING OUT THE SUN
WHERE HAVE ALL THE DAYLIGHT HOURS GONE
WHERE HAVE ALL THE RAINBOW COLOURS GONE
WHERE HAVE ALL THE LEAVES GONE FROM THE TREES
THE WARMTH HAS GONE FROM THE BREEZE
IT’S THE END OF SUMMER, THE END OF SUMMER
WHERE HAS THE SUN GONE FROM THE SKY
WHO STOLE THE HOURS OF DAYLIGHT
REPLACED BY DARKER NIGHT
WITH THUNDER-COLUDS ROLLING THROUGH THE SKY
NOW THE NIGHT TIME CLOSES IN TOO FAST
I PRAY THESE STORM-CLOUDS WILL NOT LAST
I PRAY THE WIND WILL CLEAR THE SKY
AND BLOW THE STORM AWAY BEFORE DAYLIGHT
WHERE HAVE ALL THE DAYLIGHT HOURS GONE
WHERE HAVE ALL THE RAINBOW COLOURS GONE
WHERE HAVE ALL THE LEAVES GONE FROM THE TREES
THE WARMTH HAS GONE FROM THE BREEZE
IT’S THE END OF SUMMER, THE END OF SUMMER
SOLO
Chorus

The sun will rise again.
Everybody's looking for direction
Trying to figure out which way to go
But there is no right or wrong
The path we chose in life, keeps rolling on
With all our ups and downs, there's joy and pain
So wipe your tears away and smile again
At the end of every day, when there's nothing left to say
You’ll know that tomorrow, the sun will rise again.
So hold your head up high and keep on smiling
Hold your head up high and keep on smiling
At the end of the day, when there's nothing left to say
Know tomorrow the sun will rise again.
Yesterday is history to me,
Tomorrow is still full of mystery
If I can make it through the day
With a smile upon my face, I've done ok
So hold your head up high and keep on smiling
Hold your head up high and keep on smiling
At the end of every day, when there's nothing left to say
I’ll know tomorrow the sun will rise again.
If there comes a time when I feel blue,
I'll think of all the times I've spent with you
You always chase my blues away, you make me smile again
And I Know tomorrow, the sun will rise again.
So hold your head up high and keep on smiling
Hold your head up high and keep on smiling
At the end of the day, when there's nothing left to say
Know tomorrow the sun will rise again.
I’ll hold your head up high and keep on smiling
Hold your head up high and keep on smiling
At the end of the day, when there's nothing left to say
Know tomorrow the sun will rise again.

RIDE THIS STORM
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
SILENCE SAYS MORE THAN YOU COULD SAY
AT TIMES YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP ON PUSHING ON
THEY SAY THAT FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
FACE THE RAGING STORM AS IT GROWS
YOU HAVE TO FIGHT TO KEEP A FLAME ALIVE
THERE’S ALWAYS NEW HORIZONS BEYOND THE CLOUDS
SO SET YOUR SAIL FOR THE SETTING SUN
I WILL RIDE THIS STORM
SAIL THE ROUGH WATER
WHEN THE LIGHTNING STRIKES
I WILL FIND MY WAY HOME
SAIL THE SEVEN SEAS
ON THE CREST OF THE WAVE
THEN WHEN IT ALL BREAKS DOWN
I WILL STILL BE ME
I HAVE A FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN
BUT WHAT’S WRITTEN IN THE STARS IS WHAT WILL BE
I’M THE KIND WHO FOLLOWS EVERY RAINBOW
AND I KNOW THE SUN IS GOING TO RISE AGAIN
SO I WILL RIDE THIS STORM
SAIL THE ROUGH WATER
WHEN THE LIGHTNING STRIKES
I WILL FIND MY WAY HOME
SAIL THE SEVEN SEAS
ON THE CREST OF THE WAVE
THEN WHEN IT ALL BREAKS DOWN
I WILL STILL BE ME
THEY SAY THAT FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
AND I KNOW THE SUN IS GOING TO RISE AGAIN
THEY SAY THAT FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
I WILL RIDE THIS STORM SAIL THE ROUGH WATER
WHEN THE LIGHTNING STRIKES I WILL FIND MY WAY HOME
SAIL THE SEVEN SEAS ON THE CREST OF THE WAVE
THEN WHEN IT ALL BREAKS DOWN I WILL STILL BE ME

RIDE ON WHITE HORSES
FROM FAMILIAR SHORES, INTO THE MISTY BLUE
RIDE THE DARK OCEAN HEAD FOR HORIZONS NEW
SAILING INTO THE NIGHT, BENIETH THE DARKEST SKY
I HEAR THE BEATING OF MY HEART AS THE WEST WIND CRIES
ABOVE THE THUNDER OF THE CRASHING WAVES
I HEAR THE ANGELS CALLING OUT MY NAME
THE RAIN LASHED DOWN FROM THE ROLLING CLOUDS
AND WASHED AWAY MY FEARS AS THE WAVES BREAK ALL AROUND
SAIL ON WHITE HORSES SAIL ON
SAIL ON WHITE HORSES THE WEST WIND CRIES
SAIL ON WHITE HORSES SAIL ON
SAIL ON WITH ME
THE ANGEL OF THE OCEAN, SO LEGEND SAYS
RIDES A WHITE HORSE CALLED PEGASUS
AT THE BREAKING OF THE WAVES
LAYING IN THE DEEP, UNTIL THE OCEANS RISE
THEN AT THE BREAKING OF THE WAVES
YOU’LL SEE HER RIDE AS THE WEST WIND CRIES
RIDE ON WHITE HORSES RIDE ON
RIDE ON WHITE HORSES THE WEST WIND CRIES
RIDE ON WHITE HORSES RIDE ON
RIDE ON WITH ME
RIDE ON WHITE HORSES RIDE ON
RIDE ON WHITE HORSES THE WEST WIND CRIES
RIDE ON WHITE HORSES CARRY ME AWAY
RIDE ON WITH ME, CARRY ME AWAY
RIDE ON WITH ME, CARRY ME AWAY

Cal - The Working Man
05:02

It's a working man l am
And I've been down under ground
And I swear to God if l ever see the sun
Or for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down under ground
At the age of sixteen years
Oh, he quarrels with his peers
Who vowed they'd never see another one
In the dark recess of the mines
Where you age before your time
And the coal dust lies heavy on your lungs
It's a working man l am
And I've been down under ground
And I swear to God if l ever see the sun
Or for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down under ground
At the age of sixty four
Oh, he'll greet you at the door
And he'll gently lead you by the arm
Through the dark recess of the mines
Oh, he'll take you back in time
And he'll…
It's a working man l am
And I've been down under ground
And I swear to God if l ever see the sun
Or for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down under ground
It's a working man l am
And I've been down under ground
And I swear to God if l ever see the sun
Or for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down under ground
It's a working man l am
And I've been down under ground
And I swear to God if l ever see the sun
Or for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down under ground
God, I never again will go down under ground

PEACE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

PEACE FROM SHORE TO SHORE
I CAN’T STAND THIS MINDLESS FIGHTING
I DON’T UNDERSTAND AT ALL
WHY CAN’T WE JUST LIVE IN HARMONY
LET THERE BE PEACE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

FROM THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN TO THE SHORE BY THE SEA
PEACE
EVERYBODY JOIN HANDS IF YOU WANT TO BELIEVE
PEACE
IN EVERY CITY, EVERY TOWN ALL OVER THE LAND

I HOPE AND I PRAY THAT MAYBE SOME DAY
