Lyrics
Scots Lament
(w and m Michael A Wynne)
Intro Don't be a prisoner to your past
You've Thrown away your time
Its never gonna last
Always on your mind
Don't say you cant you know you can
Weve all been outta line
The gathering of the clans
Always on your mind
V1 I was thinking bout what you said
Just the other day
You live your life
Like its your way or the highway
Some of your dreams come true
Others are on their way
But when I ask after your children
You know you look the other way
Don't be a prisoner to your past
You've Thrown away your time
Its never gonna last
Always on your mind
Don't say you cant you know you can
We've all been outta line
The gathering of the clans
Always on your mind
It's true you've tasted the bitter pill
More than a time or two
Been caught in a storm
On a boat with no sail
Maybe your folks did
the things they should not do
Please understand my friend
they did the best with what they know
Don't be a prisoner to your past
You've Thrown away your time
Its never gonna last
Always on your mind
When you look into the future
You see the light of day
You make it all the time
We'll make it all the way
