Testing the waters Swimming the streams I didn’t know things were not as they seemed Precious little child Precious little child I can see the moon, in your eyes Under the prairie skies Under the prairie skies Your skates cutting across the ice I will find you in the ocean I will find you the sea I will find you in the ocean In the land of you and me Breakwater prayers Running by the sea Breakwater prayers In the land of you and me I will find you in the ocean I will find you the sea I will find you in the ocean In the land of you and me Belmont called us home Belmont called us home Today I’m thinking of you, You are on my mind Belmont called us home Belmont called us home Today I’m thinking of you, You are on my mind I will find you in the ocean I will find you the sea I will find you in the ocean In the land of you and me Breakwater prayers Running by the sea Breakwater prayers In the land of you and me

Scotland 03:52
lyrics

We all began in Scotland On the shores of a sea swept land We all began in Scotland Entranced by the bagpipe band Our souls how far they've wandered Our ships from sand to sand With broken dreams we mounted beams Made our way hand over hand We all began in Scotland Entranced by the bagpipe band Oh we left fine souls in Ireland The strong ones set off once again The hunger it came as did the rain And tore us away from our land We left behind the dying who blessed us as we sailed Their hopes and dreams our shining beams Lit our way to the neverland We all began in Scotland Entranced by the bagpipe band We all began in Scotland Our voices sing out to command We're strong and we're proud We're bold and we're loud Survivors of life's harsh demands Oh we love you dear old Scotland for our kinfolk sight unseen From your mud we came your sea and your rain From Long Isle to Aberdeen We all began in Scotland Entranced by the bagpipe band Oh fare thee well dear Scotland Your kin spanning sea to sea We lift up our glass we're the hard working class We labour with dignity So tip the jar with kindness and sing out with the band We dance cause we're free we work jubilantly And we toast to our old Scotland

There, there is no love There, there is no love I don’t know what I did wrong I don’t know what I did wrong But there is, there is, there is No love, for me Dublin called to me a stranger Sunk me in her ancient sand Dublin called to me a stranger So I put my feet into her hands There, there is no love There, there is no love I don’t know what I did wrong I don’t know what I did wrong But there is, there is, there is No love, for me Was I a fool, was I a fool? Was I a fool, to believe in you? One day you’ll wake up old Your story will be all told Your pipes laid on the ground Your life already made its sound There, there is no love There, there is no love There, there is no love There, there is no love But there is, there is, there is No love, for me

Bridge 03:11

Battered hearts wearied bodies We lay beside our charity Woven together by the children that we see Soul to soul from the shadows You were whispering to me Every act a quiet kindness An unspoken dignity I am building you a bridge to cross over to me I am counting the stars for so shall our love be I am building you a bridge to cross over to me I am counting the stars For so shall our love be In your eyes is it fate that is calling out to me Bluest of the broken and the beautiful I see Every star hung from heaven holds a promise out to me Another moment of love where there is you and there is me I am building you a bridge to cross over to me I am counting the stars for so shall our love be I am building you a bridge to cross over to me I am counting the stars For so shall our love be For so shall our love be For so shall our love be

1851 00:43
lyrics
buy track
The emigrants from Barra Island arrived on board half-starving and half-naked. Many children of nine and ten years old had not a rag to cover them . Mrs Crisp the shipmasters wife.. spent the whole of the voyage converting empty bread-bags, old canvases and blankets into coverings for them. They arrived in Quebec unable to support themselves and without any means of paying passage to Upper Canada, where they might be able to find work. Because they had not sailed until August, they arrived too late to be properly settled before the onset of a Canadian winter, for which they remained unprepared.
