    I am a New Zealander, of Highland clearances descent. The only reason my ancestors came here was because of that. This song pulls me every each way. I can hear the words, and put the vision of New Zealand in its place. It makes the hair on the back of my neck, stand up. I see my great grandparents, sail away, never to return.

      I'm French but not entery and more Spanish but i don't know how percents for Each. I stay for holidays in Skye Island and in Highlands and i think that i'm more Scottish than French. I don't explain why but it's real.

    This version is so beautiful. I didn't realise there were words to this wonderful music. I was married at the end of January when my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumour and this carries such memories, as Highland Cathedral was played as we left the church. Thank you, Andy.

    This song was sung today, ANZAC Day in Australia, at Anzac Cove, Turkey, where thousands of Aussies died at Gallipoli. The song really touched my heart for all that they sacrificed for our freedom. I had an Uncle who was there. Thank you Will.

    I am my country like the flag I fly,
    And I will love her 'till the day I die,
    Bound to each other we will always be,
    I am my country: for eternity!
    And when my future takes me from my past,
    And for the shores of home I'd give my last,
    Stand me in waters in a peaceful sea,
    That's when I know she belongs to me.
    Now I shout from the mountains high
    I belong to her,
    I belong to her,
    Let no man ever doubt that I, am hers 'till the day I day
    So I shout from the mountains high
    I belong to her,
    I belong to her,
    Let no man ever doubt that I, am hers 'till the day I die
    I am my country like the flag I fly,
    I will love her to the day I die,
    Bound to each other we will always be!
    I am my country for eternity!

      The following are the most popular lyrics.
      Land of my fathers, we will always be
      Faithful and loyal to our own country.
      In times of danger, we will set you free,
      Lead you to glory and to victory.
      Hail, Caledonia, to our ancient prayer,
      in this Highland Cathedral, let our standards bear,
      Joining together with one dream to share,
      God bless the people of this land so fair.
      Gone is the past, let us start anew,
      Let this hope of peace always remain,
      Spirit of Scotia, be strong and true,
      then your children will smile again.
      Rise Caledonia, let your voices ring
      in this Highland Cathedral of our God and King,
      Whom, joy and liberty, to all, will bring,
      Come, let your heart, with love and courage, sing.
      Lonely the exile o'er distant seas,
      the home of their birth, gone from their eyes.
      Bring back their souls o'er the ocean breeze
      to the land where their fathers lie.
      Rise Caledonia, let your voices ring
      in this Highland Cathedral of our God and King,
      Whom, joy and liberty, to all, will bring,
      Come, let your heart, with love and courage, sing.

      There are no "official" lyrics to this tune. They were added later, some are more well known than others but they are not HIGHLAND CATHEDRAL, highland cathedral is the tune written for the bagpipes when a highland games was being held in some part of germany. As much as i love these lyrics, they were not part of the compostion of this song. Meaning any lyrics you find are just parodies amd remixes per se
