If I Could Talk To God - Act 1

Here i sit                                               
In the Country of my Scots
We are Albannach
Celts, we are taught
 
For many, many years
Our clans have fought and fought
Races have invaded our shores
But our freedom can not be bought


      Our Clans are segmented throughout my lands,
      in times of good we are in clannish dispute, and in   
      times of hardship, we congeal and unite as one 

      My questions and words, if you are there
      You are obliged to listen, as i am here

      If you are a teller, your words should be strong
      Do you speak like Semaj, like his words do belong

      I see these scrolls, from many years in worlds past
      Written by elders, hidden to last
      Their words of wisdom, powerful they may be
      Come with me to the future, to the land of thee

      These indigenous lands, spirits so free
      In natures portfolio, they are the decree

      For over two thousand years, religion has ruled.
      Have we been taken in, and now in blinkered rule.
      Do we look back to the Heathens, the Pagans the Mayans
      where we look to our leaders, and their suppression
      we rely on 

      Scriptures, books and scrolls, the writers of wisdom.
      The elders of nations, in current living kingdoms
      Without a book, there is no story, no paragraphs,
      no believable glory.
  
      In the modern days before 2012, in the world of Semaj
      words can be heard. Tittle tattle about this and that,
      once our worlds gone, that's that 
   
  
                    A word in your ear
                    From father to son
                    Hear the word that I say
                    I fought with you
                    Fought on your side
                    Long before you were born
                    Joyful the sound
                    The word goes around
                    From father to son to son.
            
                  ( Lyrics by Queen of Queen II )
