Beth Malcolm

End of the beginning 

[Lyrics: Beth Malcolm]

So there ends this story 

Of how this lost bairn came to be 

Here I stand now, 27 

I am rooted, and I am free 

Maybe freedom is belonging 

And like the graylag Geese each Autumn 

We are all bound to roam 

But we carry with us, messages of joys and woe 

From the fields we grew from 

Sung a thousand times before 

By a process of Folkmosis 

They seeped in as bairns 

And became part of us 

When I sing them alone 

Or aloud to you 

I feel known 

For the songs and sounds of Scotland will always bring me home
