//
(Verse 1)
I wis but a laddie, young an' sae free,
'Til the reivers cam, took ma life frae me.
In the nicht, they whispered, took me frae ma hame,
Tae a land o' shadows, whaur I’d hae tae roam.

(Chorus)
Heilar o' the thralls, a tale o' the hert,
Frae the chains o' despair, I made a fresh start.
Wi' visions divine, I fand ma ain way,
In the mirk o' ma thirlage, I learned hoo tae pray.

(Verse 2)
In the fields o' green, whaur the aiks grow tall,
I felt the haly licht, I heard the faint ca'.
Restored the blin' man, wi' a touch o' grace,
Wrote the gospel stories, in ilka place.

(Bridge)
I biggit kirks an' monasteries, stane by stane,
In ilka ache an' sigh, I wis ne'er alane.
Miracles flowin', like the rivers sae wide,
Frae the depths o' ma sorrow, I’d ne'er hide.

(Verse 3)
I mind the cauld nichts, wi' dreams at ma side,
The roar o' the waves, like a sweet lullaby.
I raised the fallen anes, walked them back tae licht,
Wi' faith in ma hert, I wad fecht the nicht.

(Outro)
Sae here’s tae the journeys, frae thrall tae the free,
Wi' ilka miracle, a pairt o' me.
Heilar o' the thralls, ma story unfolds,
In the licht o' ma faith, a legacy bold.
