LYRICS
We’ve a common thread
And it comes from where we’re bred
Take a look and see
It’s right there in our ancestry
Somerled King Of The Isles
In years travel back in miles
To Charlemagne King Of The Franks
Thanks!
You can see it in our smiles
Arthur didn’t call himself king
And get this… here’s the thing
Neither did Jesus
If it weren’t for them
There wouldn’t be us
I wouldn’t be who I am
St. Columba of the Nine Hostages
Concubines, priests and princesses
Frankly Francus of the Franks
Judah, Jacob, Isacc, Abraham
All part of who I am
Thanks Noah for the rainbow
And for Adam and Lilith
Delivereth
