In July of 2011 I visited my homeland of Scotland after an 11 year absence, and reconnected with my family. This is a song about my trip.

Caledonia
I saw the sands of my motherland and I am going home
The sun will shine ‘til after nine
The sun will shine, you’ll be just fine
The sun will shine, you’ll be just fine
So fine
Caledonia, I saw the sands of my motherland and I am going home
I’m going where the ocean’s warm and factories make dreams
The stars come out at night and put their handprints on the street
Did I mention that Strathern was the name of a street in Los Angeles
I promise that it won’t be long ‘til we are once again complete
I never felt you more
Caledonia, I saw the sands of my motherland and I am going home
Sun will shine
Sun will shine
Sun will shine
Sun will shine
You put me in a cot and then you ran me through the trees
Bathed me in the water then you shook me on your knees
You put me on a plane when I was terrified to leave
A mother only knows how much she means to me
I never felt you more
You gave me life, I’ll give you mine
You gave me life, I’ll give you mine
Caledonia
I knelt before your stony shore and I am going home
