So you don’t want flower of Scotland?

[rabuddies 1,378]

I've always thought that this would make a great national anthem for some new small nation.

 

We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters

 

Let the river run
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem

 

Silver cities rise
The morning lights
The streets that meet them
And sirens call them on
With a song

 

It's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching

We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters

 

We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the dark'ning dawn

 

It's asking for the taking
Come run with me now
The sky is the color of blue
You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover

 

Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters

 

Let the river run
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem

Would also save money on fire works and flame cannons when the players run onto the pitch 👍🏻

Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters   Let the river run
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem   Silver cities rise
The morning lights
The streets that meet them
And sirens call them on
With a song   It's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters   We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the dark'ning dawn   It's asking for the taking
Come run with me now
The sky is the color of blue
You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover   Oh, my heart is aching

Coming through the fog

Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem

"A new Jerusalem", no thanks, cunts will just want to fight over it.

Pie in the sky.

Pie in the sky.

I know, too obscure?

Somewhere, over the rainbow, wae a ???

FFS, it's got to fit in in place of "Jerusalem", get with it, auld yin.

lyrics

If you don't put me on trial
Then why don't you turn me loose
You can throw the key away
Let me chase the wild goose
Your progress is my desire
You shouldn't do me wrong

Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long

Telling stories to the peacocks
Selling systematically
Just a counterfeit engraving
Of the way you used to be
Just another one-way number
Just another two-way song

Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long

Don't encourage me to murder'Cause it pays to advertise
Don't treat me with suspicion
Don't tell me no more lies
You know I love your company
You shouldn't do me wrong

Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long

This is one that many of us would have been taught at school , therefore should be familiar to us. .

 

[saintnextlifetime 5,759]

Back in the day when the SNP was a party for independence , before the '79 group hijacked it , this song was regarded as the National Anthem and  sung as such at Party events . .

. .of course the words are credited to one of the most famous Scotsmen of all time. .

 

Here's a wee bit fae Wiki ;  "Scots Wha Hae" (English: Scots, Who Have; Scottish Gaelic: Brosnachadh Bhruis) is a patriotic song of Scotland written using both words of the Scots language and English, which served for centuries as an unofficial national anthem of the country, but has lately been largely supplanted by "Scotland the Brave" and "Flower of Scotland".

Never heard it before. Must have been taught to those of a certain vintage.

[ALBIONSAINT 1,607]

What about an anthem that celebrates a man who loved Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You are right , l reckon you would need to be over 12yrs old to know it. .

[Slarti 614]

Well, I've played it to my daughter (32) and my niece (19) and both of them say they don't know it. Why do you assume "many of us" would have learned it? Because you did? How many is "many"?
