lyrics

The songs they hear the songs they sang
they’re whispers down through time
they made those songs to tell the truth
and now those songs are mine

the words out fathers freely gave
all in our mother tongue
the stories they are ancient
but our voices they are young

the sound it rings
and my soul sings
as our feet come down on english ground
we dance the cycle round

from padstow down to bampton
and your your home town to mine
theres treasure on these islands
theres magic in our time

we hear the sounds of africa
we hear the celtic barbed
but the treasure we are searching for
is in our own back yard

The ghosts they stand behind us
and with love they lead us on
with our foot forward as just as theres
they guide us through our song

Chorus

The words our fathers freely gave all in our mothers tongue
the stories they are ancient
but our voices they are young
