Lyrics
Eagle’s Wing
I have travelled far this Globe of beauty
Through time and tide of centuries and still the world I roam
But I always feel the pull of Caledonia
And the Eagle’s wing will always guide me home.
I’m a soldier old, I gave my youth for others.
I’m a sailor on the cruel wave and brave the raging foam.
I’m a nurse upon the bloody fields of Flanders.
I am all flowers of Scotland. Guide me home.
Chorus
Guide me home on the Golden Eagle’s wing
And I will sing as high above we soar.
Guide me home where the Golden eagles fly
And I will die with Caledonian Soul.
From the Carolinas, I can see the Cuillins.
I healed the world from London but for fields of Ayrshire dream.
From a Pittsburgh Steel mill, I still feel Dumfermline.
From the Belfast cranes, I long for Pittenweem.
On the world stage, I crave the streets of Glasgow.
A humble star of ancient game but Oban’s in my bones.
I’m a dying bard on far Pacific Island;
May the glow of Skerryvore now guide me home.
I’m the sons and daughters all of Caledonia,
Of generations long gone by and a thousand still to go.
I am all who left and all who stayed forever
And all who came and made our land their own.
We’ll see the rolling farmland of the borders.
The Castle stands in silhouette on Edinburgh sky;
The mighty Clyde, the rugged Island mountains,
Highland streams of moving dreams gone by.
Above our mortal burdens, feel the freedom.
High we soar with golden hope for all we see below.
May forgiveness, faith and love grace all horizons-
The tide will turn to guide our journey home.

This song could make people emigrate to Scotland. It's so inspiring and full of feeling and emotion.❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺

[@PatriceCaouissin]

[@christinemcewan2754]

Wonderful song where can I purchase it x

[@vivianlemottee3291]

That song would have won first prize in Eurovision. It's sooooo great.

[@mollycarlson9715]

"I'm a dying bard on far Pacific Island; May the glow of Skerryvore now guide me home." Those lines wrap right around my heart.

[@Robescocia]

Referring of course to Robert Louis Stevenson

[@mollycarlson9715]

@@Robescocia Yes! ❤️

This is a beautiful song and it brought a tear to my eye for two reasons. One - Skipinnish was one of my late wife’s favourite groups. Two - I miss Scotland even though I’ve just been there. But I’m returning later this year for a second trip.

[@guyro3373]

My condolences on your loss…

[@karlejnarch]

@@guyro3373 Thanks. Hard to believe it's been almost 5 years since she passed 😥

[@vivianlemottee3291]

That's got to be the most beautiful song ever composed. Tears me apart.

May you be guided by a golden eagle’s wings

[@marksharmanmusic1]

I'm not from Scotland and even I was feeling patriotic!! that is one beautiful song and arrangement. I can see why many a Scot would love this, especially if they are overseas.

[@vivianlemottee3291]

I wish I'd found Skipinnish much earlier. Absolutely brilliant. At least i have found them.🇦🇺❤️

Well, after reading all the positive comments about Skipinnish, it's about time we formed a Skipinnish fan club and get Skipinnish t-shirts. They deserve all the recognition we can give them.🇦🇺❤️

[@Lucarius1]

I shared this beautiful song with a friend. He loved it as much I did.

[@Robescocia]

One of the best Scottish songs I have heard in my 77 years. Bound to be a worldwide hit with the Scottish/Celtic/Highlander/Outlander diaspora.

[@154300]

Just cane across this beautiful song when familiarising myself with Skipinnish songs for tonight's gig at Edinburgh Castle. I'm tagging along with 3 staunch skippys so don't want to look stupid lol.

[@georgebryson8178]

[@TransRadioUK_Andrea]

OMG this is making me homesick, it is beautiful ❤❤❤

A Scottish anthem right up there with Flower of Scotland, Caledonia & Loch Lomond - fabulous!

[@vivianlemottee3291]

Well, I'm listening to this song again for the 5th or 6th time again today. I'm hooked .

Any chance this could become the Scottish national anthem?

[@eva-mariatheissen1906]

Würd was this recorded? Some Castle was obviously involved😀

[@anna-mariacamin2889]

I've missed John Cleave. Isn't he still a member of the band?

[@gehringjurgen9277]

Toller Song! Wann seid ihr mal wieder in Deutschland?❤

[@Kiltoonie]

It's a mishmashed hotch-potch of every populist faux traditional Scottish song ever written since the White Heather show. I'd award it 0/10 for originality, and 10/10 for brassnecked commercial sentiment and plagiarism .... Thank God we have Annie Lennox and some Scottish singers who can think out of the box!

[@doubledee7517]

What a shitty comment.Bide off the drink, your obviously drunk.

[@lynmarieohara7571]

A right bundle of joy aren't you!
