The Brave Heart of Scotland

by Dr. Dee McGarrity

Third Place, 2013

The country screams as it's torn apart
The people pull it one way or another
The rebels cry and the loyalists pray
And the rest call out to the Mother

The heroes are made as their blood is shed
The wind will carry their deeds
The clouds loom over the good and the bad
And the blood gives life to the seeds

It rings from the hills to the valleys low
It resonates to the sky
As the men and the children raise their eyes
And wait by the river's flow

Make Scotland free and set us forth
Raise our hearts on Scotlands flag
As we look to the future with our freedom intact
Cause Scotland will always be
