The First Scottish Samurai

I was born in Glasgow but I've never felt at home
dreaming of a place where spirits roam.
In my mind I see another kind of me
back in old Japan where I am free.

I am the first Scottish Samurai.
I am the first.
I am the first Scottish Samurai.

In the distant mountains where my fallen brothers lie
where the osprey and the eagles fly.
Breathe the air and be another kind of me
back in old Japan where I am free.

I am the first Scottish Samurai.
I am the first.
I am the first Scottish Samurai.

In my tartan armour with my Katana I stand
fighting for my master and his land
where the eagle flies there is wonder in my eyes
back in old Japan when my heart lies.

I am the first Scottish Samurai.
I am the first.
I am the first Scottish Samurai.
