Running round the sacred mountain
The rushing stream
Feel the power
In everything
By the water. where the air is clear
Surrender everything
Old hearts grow younger again
They promise bring
The greenest. plants are tender
They’re full of sap in spring
Empty the places of the mind
Running to the light
Running to the light
Those who stride too far too soon
Will not hold pace
Only the calm
Will win the race
Through the forest, the sea of mountain pine
Surrender everything
Only those who
Greatness see in little things
Worthy are the simple
They’re happy in their ways
Self will wither out of sight
Running to the light
Running to the light
Arise soul
Soar above the singing river
Go lying down
Into the ground
Quickened by the stream
When all is said and done
The race moves on Running, running
mar sin leat - I think that means goodbye, never had or learnt the gaelic tongue - but will always love and respect everything you have done and will do. Tapadh leat. soraidh slàn le mo charaid, you have decided to move on, I will love your music now and always
I was there too... brilliant day! (Y) Had to revisit this song, having just listened to "Somewhere" from the new album. Looking forward to seeing the band again in a few days! :)
This performance is just fantastic! The way each band member really gets into the feel of the combined music is inspirational. It is easily one of my favourite, all-time Runrig up-beat performances...among the many others, of course! :-)
I used to live in Strathpeffer in the North Highlands, which was literally 5 minutes away from Contin where Calum MacDonald (percussion) lived. Great band, been into them for years!
