	Story Behind the Song Guess I've seen "Braveheart" too many times... Lyrics Never worn the plaid of blue and green. Never gone to Glasgow, Never been to Aberdeen. Never tread the hills of Lammermuir. But something in my spirit says I've seen it all before. I hear the highland pipes and I am weeping. Think about Stirling Castle- It awakens something sleeping. I dream of a land I've never known. But somehow I'm certain That it used to be my own. (ch) Now I'm trying to remember. I'm trying to remember. I'm trying to remember... And could it be I lived a bygone life? Did I tend a flock in Galloway? Did I keep a bonny wife? You say it's all just a trick upon the brain. But I can't explain this longing- I can't drink away the pain. I guess I'm lost as I can be. Nothing but a fallen branch From a foreign family tree. I'm under its shadow all the same. Wish someone could tell me If the shadow has a name... (ch) I've never done the things I hoped I'd do. Never left the hills of home- Never stretched my wings and flew. But now I've met the ghost of used-to-be. And so it is that the ghost and I Shall cross the Irish Sea. Don't know what I'll find when I arrive. Maybe walking on sacred soil Will bring my bones alive. A resurrected laddie, born again? I may learn where I am going When I learn where I have been. (ch)
