Donald Francis MacNeil is my name, I’m a fisherman through to the bone. I have lived by the creel and the wave To provide for a family and home. Generations before me have followed The toil and the call of the seas But the soul will be torn from our future And the heart from the Hebrides. I have hauled through the stacks and the arches And learned from the old in my youth. Ten thousand seabirds my chorus The sea is my way and my truth. At one with the ocean, with nature, The world above and below, The harvest of harmony’s circle But my life and my living must go For the fashions of urban ideals Where passions of ignorance play To the lies of political deals - No care for the lives in their way. My people, my language, my Island And the rights that our forefathers won To remain on the soil of our homeland By the sweep of a pen will be gone - A wrecking ball through our existence; Tradition and culture condemned At the hands of the arrogant stranger - The Clearances over again. But we’ll join with the kin of our coastline From Ness to the Holy Isle. Faceless grey suits from the cities, They will not play games with our lives. My song marks a fight for survival A Mayday call we cry. We will stand for the rights of our children. We will not let our islands die.
