Though I've been to many places,
I hope you'll go and see
The beauty that exudes from Scotland's scenery
You smell it,
and you see it,
and sense it in the air
No matter where you go, that beauty's everywhere
On the salty tan,
coastal towns,
tucked neatly by the shore
The sea waves rippling over the sand,
the surf's mighty roar
The seagulls flying near a boat,
that's still in the heads for home
After five long days with a steady pace,
it cuts right through the pole
Your thoughts often wander there,
wherever you may land
Although your time is occupied by mother's close at hand
It's just like a magnet that cuts through time and space
And you have lasting memories that nothing can erase
In contrast,
you can walk through a leaky forest glade
You hear the birds hop in the trees,
she rabbits in the shade
The leaves are rustling,
gently swept by breezes passing by
The air is pure and clean and fresh,
it puts you on a high
Your thoughts often wander there,
wherever you may land
Although your time is occupied by mother's close at hand
It's just like a magnet that cuts through time and space
And you have lasting memories that nothing can erase
A summer stroll by a riverside is nice,
twilight's fine
Or through the snow-clad hills,
bathing sun in wintertime
These things you can appreciate,
they're free and will and proud
They're there for you,
just go and see,
Scotland's got it all
Your thoughts often wander there,
wherever you may land
Although your time is occupied by mother's close at hand
It's just like a magnet that cuts through time and space
And you have lasting memories that nothing can erase
And you have lasting memories that nothing can erase
