Highland Beats

Pipes play loud in the misty air Hearts beat fast with the rhythmic flare Hands on the reeds fingers move with care Echoes of the past everywhere Accordions join with a gentle song Bridges gap where the clans belong Harmony flows as it rolls along Ancient tales in the tunes they prolong Highland beats fill the air Through the glen we declare Melodies pure we share Unity in every square Marching through the heather wild Every note a highland child Feet on the ground hearts beguiled Scotland’s spirit undefiled Sounds rattle stones on the old stone walls Memories of warriors and ballroom halls Histories tangled in the music’s calls Every note a story that enthralls Highland beats fill the air Through the glen we declare Melodies pure we share Unity in every square
