Lyrics

[INTRO]
Oh, Fraser, once a brave heart amongst the hills,
With the thistle and the lion, he knew the thrills.
But the winds of change whispered in his ear,
Turning necks and hearts away from all that's dear.

[VERSE 1]
From the highlands he came, with a proud clan at his side,
With a sword and a dream, for Scotland he'd abide.
But the gold of the crown danced in front of his eyes,
And to the red coats he pledged, weaving treacherous lies.

[CHORUS]
Fraser, oh Fraser, you've turned from the land,
With your heart now a whisper, where a brave heart once stand.
Oh, Fraser, sweet Fraser, the shadows you chase,
Have led you to nowhere, stripped away your grace.

[VERSE 2]
In the taverns they speak of the glory that fell,
The echoes of freedom now trapped in a cell.
For the kilt that you wore now hangs heavy with shame,
As the voices of your kin call out your name.

[CHORUS]
Fraser, oh Fraser, the ties you have torn,
With the weight of the burden, from the day you were born.
Oh, Fraser, sweet Fraser, remember the night,
When the bagpipes were crying and the stars shone bright.

[BRIDGE]
Through the valleys and the glens, memories will stay,
Of a man who was noble, lost along the way.
But the spirit of the Highlands will never relent,
For a turncoat’s betrayal is never heaven-sent.

[CHORUS]
Fraser, oh Fraser, your tale twisted and bent,
With your hopes and your dreams like a ship that’s just spent.
Oh, Fraser, dear Fraser, come back from the dark,
For the soul of the brave is the true Scottish mark.

[OUTRO]
So here's to the warriors who fight for the land,
And to those who have faltered, may they understand.
With the thistle, the heather, let your heart be reclaimed,
For even the turncoat can still find his name.
Oh Fraser, come back, let the past be the past,
For the heart of Scotland beats strong, ever steadfast.
