Dinna you wait fir sumbody else tae gee tae you your freedom
An dinna you wait fir sumbody else tae tak awa yir strife
Jist breath in an feel yir ain might
Jist breath in an gee the gift o life
An they say its an auld wives tale that the land speaks
An they say its an auld wives tale that the land weeps
Bit I can tell yi o a story o great strength an wonder
Far the Scottish folk sound at once like thunder
An I can tell ye o stories o fit came before
O old hatreds injustice o great pain an war
An I can tell ye o a freedom that lives in us aa
An I can tell ye o a freedom that maks us stan tall
So I say tae my neighbour as I shak o your han
Only as equals can we unite as we stan
