Professor John Robertson OBA

For decades, I’ve wanted to write the lyrics for songs but could never find a collaborator. Recently I’ve turned to AI for the tunes and the performance – what else can I do?

I’ve written this song with a view to persuading reluctant Yes voters that independence is not exile. We’d still be good friends to the many good folk, not just their relatives and friends, when Scotland is free to run its own affairs. We’re not going away in any physical sense and if the going got tough, we’d still be there with them, barring any daft invasions by them of course.

I don’t want to make any money from this, just credit the authorship. Anyone should feel free to use the lyrics and the tune in any way they like. If anybody does, please let me know.

It’s a stomper unlike Flower of Scotland?

Lyrics:

In the morning we’ll be singing, we’ll be singing

We have reasons to be angry with them, to this day

Albion’s masters have taken everything we had

In warships, fighting men and blood, we’ve paid

But so have our neighbours just over the border

They’ve died on the line with us, lived in the slums with us

Too often the rich have set us against each other

UK Reformers have that same purpose this very day

Come on Scotland, it’s your time

Time to live the way you believe in

Come on Scotland, it’s your time

Still together if it comes for us all

In the morning we’ll be singing, we’ll be singing

Come on Scotland, it’s not an exile

Still together on the beaches and

Still together on the landing grounds

Together in the fields and in the streets

Come on Scotland, it’s just our turn

We’ve waited decades for a better place with our English friends

We can’t wait for ever but we must try now to go on our own

We make the world dreamed of by those who are now gone

And they’ll  see it happen before their eyes right next door

Their masters of news cannot forever hide from them what we do

Come on England open your eyes and give up your endless wars

Come on England open your eyes, there’s no shame in following

Come on Scotland, it’s your time

Time to live the way you believe in

Come on Scotland, it’s your time

Still together if it comes for us all

In the morning we’ll be singing, we’ll be singing

Come on Scotland, it’s not an exile

Still together on the beaches and

Still together on the landing grounds

Together in the fields and in the streets

Come on Scotland, it’s just our turn
