Myfanwy Morgan - Their Ode to Caithness Lyrics

They scanned the brown and muggy flatlands
And fought with what they saw
The sky was grey and raw
Restlessness and tension filled their jaw

They asked their peers how did they feel
In spirit and in mind
Are you blithe with what's assigned
Within themselves they'd always felt confined

Who they're meant to be
A mystery

They feel connected to the masculine peat filled soil and dirt
They feel connected to the feminine, flowing water from the burns
They're a part of both of these, yet somehow feel they don't belong
The land doesn't judge, it knows they're strong

As fog forever shrouds the moors and hides the scenic sights
The persons taken flight
They left their motherland, in cover of night

As their lungs soaked in the air of lands they stepped upon
Their mind was always drawn
Back to the place they marked as dead and gone

Who they're meant to be
A mystery

They feel connected to the masculine peat filled soil and dirt
They feel connected to the feminine, flowing water from the burns
They're a part of both of these, yet somehow feel they don't belong
The land doesn't judge, it knows they're

At one with the ancients, the ancestors pain
Although not the same
Stigmas remain
What people fear changes with the tides
But the land will always guide

They feel connected to the masculine peat filled soil and dirt
They feel connected to the feminine, flowing water from the burns
They're a part of both of these, yet somehow feel they don't belong
They're a part of both of these, yet somehow feel they don't belong
The land doesn't judge, it knows they're strong
It knows their strong
It knows I'm strong
