Orogeny
With two friends I traveled north
Walking for days - we left our lives behind
We ventured close to the hillsides of my youth
Where I'd played and run and climbed
Three thousand miles and thirty years have flown
On an ancient peak - land of dreams and visions past
Names left behind: hidden summit, whitest rocks
To take the country's founder's last
A dream of unity
Two hundred million years ago
Extrapolate that Pennine path across Pangaea's span
To where it meets this Appalachian range
In Scotland's highest lands
A dream of unity
A dream - orogeny
Divisions multiply - continental drift
Three hundred million years to end this time apart
Meeting, will we push the mountains high
Higher still, to keep our boundaries marked?
A dream of unity
A dream - orogeny
A dream of unity
Walking for days - we left our lives behind
We ventured close to the hillsides of my youth
Where I'd played and run and climbed
Three thousand miles and thirty years have flown
On an ancient peak - land of dreams and visions past
Names left behind: hidden summit, whitest rocks
To take the country's founder's last
A dream of unity
Two hundred million years ago
Extrapolate that Pennine path across Pangaea's span
To where it meets this Appalachian range
In Scotland's highest lands
A dream of unity
A dream - orogeny
Divisions multiply - continental drift
Three hundred million years to end this time apart
Meeting, will we push the mountains high
Higher still, to keep our boundaries marked?
A dream of unity
A dream - orogeny
A dream of unity
