The Bridge

 

The Bridge

 

I am the Bridge don’t you know?

And Just So as You Know

I am Scottish not British Ye Ken!

 

I grew from the mud and the silt of the Forth

with my Towers reaching high to the sky

My elder sisters were here long before I arrived

But now there’s the 3 of us caught the Worlds eye

 

My Steel cords unwound could circle this Earth

And I’m the best of my type anywhere

My Sails like the ships which travel beneath

Are a beauty which none can compare

 

And when I shine my lights up into the night

It is Saltires you’ll see should you look

I am proud of my people and pround of this Land

Their Invention and Skill which I took

 

Many people did come from all the World over

Each playing their part and together

For the Scotland you see when they built me

Welcomes All who will make us be Better.
