I Am For What I Am
Since the day that I first left
Looking back,
Through different windows
Knowing there will be reft
I am for what I am, and I'll be
I am for what I am, you'll see
I found it hard to explain
The actions of our cause
Highlanders against the Lowlanders
Simply because
I am for what I am, and I'll be
I am for what I am, you'll see
The answers and reactions
To which they promptly, replied
Trust and honour abounds
And pity those who lied
I am for what I am, and I'll be
I am for what I am, you'll see
I'm now in an enviable position
To look back on my ancestors so
I'm Scottish, the son of Kane
From my days so long ago
I am for what I am, and I'll be
I am for what I am, you'll see
My name is semaj, The Highlander
I've come back from your future so
To an earth in rutted grief
And allow your tomorrow flow
I am for what I am, and I'll be
I am for what I am, you'll see
All Nations should be accounted
North and South Hemispheres
To allow you to continue
Allay our space age fears
I am for what I am, and I'll be
I am for what I am, you'll see
It's the reason I have returned
To Scourie is where it started
Your future wormhole lies
For me, it's where I departed
I am for what I am, and I'll be
I am for what I am, you'll see
We can only take,
The ones who'll live so free!
