Land of My Fathers Music and Lyrics© – Douglas Eldon McLean – August 15 2015 GEB Publishing/ SOCAN © Maps never give you the feel of a place The green of the grass or the sun on your face Holding your breath so you won’t disturb All the magic that lies locked in the earth All the magic that lies locked in the earth Unspoken yearning deep in the blood Pulls like a tide that the moon can’t confront Simple reminders that once were ignored Sing through the fog of these old coastal roads Sing through the fog of these old coastal roads Take me down to the land of my fathers Where the wild roses grow Lay me down in those cool clear waters Open up my soul Open up my soul Songs filled with wonder Songs filled with grace Songs that evade all that time will erase I stumble and wonder with no purpose or plan To gather more thorns than blooms in my hand I gather more thorns than blooms in my hand Take me down to the land of my mother Where the sea breaks the shoreline Surrounded by these daughters of heaven Teach me how to love Teach me how to love I can’t understand what’s been going on All the wreckage and ruin brings nothing at all For all of gifts we seem destined to fail We alone bear the cross of all that we’ve lost And we’ve lost so much Yes we’ve lost so much Sooner or later it comes down to this The farther we travel the more that we miss It was there all along but we just didn’t see Only love and forgiveness will set the heart free Only loving forgiveness will set the heart free Take me down to the land of my fathers Where the wild roses grow Lay me down in those cool clear waters Open up my soul Open up my soul Take me down to the land of my mother Where the sea breaks the shoreline Surrounded by these daughters of heaven Teach me how to love Teach me how to love Recorded February 2016 - Kearney, Ontario.

Born to Fly Music and Lyrics© Douglas Eldon McLean – August 15 2015 GEB Publishing/ SOCAN © (For Ian) Are you stuck in a doorway? Can’t seem to find your way out? And the clues you’ve been counting on Never seem to add up? You can’t wait forever for someone to show you the route. You could hide, Baby Or you could learn to fly! All the bankers, lawyers and teachers Have lied to your face! Telephone schemers and dreamers Have left in disgrace! There’s a storm on the skyline And it looks like it’s headed for us! You could hide, Baby Or you could learn to fly! There’s blood in the streets And lust in the moon Children are running from the bombs and the ruin If your heart is confused It’s not so hard to believe You could run, Baby Or you could learn to fly When the dust finally settles Do you think we’ll be able to see? Through the clouds of deception, And terrible torment of greed? It doesn’t take much to feel In the air we all breathe We ‘re all one, baby And we were born to fly We were born to fly! We were born to fly! We were born to fly!
