Stand Easy
"Stand Easy contains songs for all occasions. The excitement of mixing and mashing the worlds of both celtic and rock was the idea behind my first CD. I wrote rock songs and combined them with bagpipes, instrumentals and old traditional Scottish and Irish tunes to form a cohesive celtic rock album."
- John Allan
Scotland
The wind's cried out through the glen
Calling for home rule again
And for all our past heroes who fell or stood tall
We have rallied and answered the call
With a true Scots voice for a true Scottish realm
As we said to our future with Scots at the heml
There's a brand new look to our old history books
As Scotland tastes freedom again
A new Scots battle's been won
This time without sword or the gun
For our vote has proved mighty
And we've reclaimed our land
Let us stand up and speak hand in hand
(chorus)
All over the world we now stand
For you'll hear the Scots pipe in most lands
And read Scottish poetry
In your own mother tongue
Sure our Country is old
But our future is young...
