Lyrics

A different flag
© Duncan McLauchlan 2019


1. I've crossed the oceans, for many a year,
Seen many sights, between my homeland and here.
But every now and then, I get a nagging fear,
I might never get to see you again.

2.
I've travelled round, and I have tales to tell
I've sampled heaven and I've made my own hell,
I've combed the beaches, for fruit of, ocean swells
Praying, they would take me to you someday

Chorus.
I'm, living under a different flag
it's not my banner these strange winds fly,
though different stars may guide my way tonight,
I hope they lead me to you someday.

3.
I've climbed the mountains, with their rock so bare,
I've breathed the purest and the sweetest air,
And in their valleys, I've taken shelter there,
From the wildest of their fierce winter storms.


4.
In different countries and in different towns,
The countless roads, that I have traveled down,
You think they'd meet, because this world is round,
But it seems they all go different ways.

Chorus

4.
Some walk before me, some others have run,
To hear the beat of a different drum,
But they can't forget, the home from where they have come,
No matter how far, they might go.

Chorus x 2
+ I hope they'll lead me to you someday x 3
