[Verse]
Whispers call me through the misty air
A tale unfolds with the morning glare
I skirt the cliffs where the wild winds play
Freedom breathes at the break of day
[Verse 2]
Mountains sing with rugged pride
They're strong
Echoes carry where my feet belong
Veins like rivers through this ancient land
I escape with the earth in my hand
[Chorus]
Run the highlands feel the heartbeat rise
Through the heather and the stormy skies
Bound to nowhere tied to no man's plan
One step closer to who I am
[Verse 3]
Flutes cry out like secrets in the stone
Love the lonely skies I've made my home
Wisp of spirit sharp as kilted air
Every shadow hides a dreamer's dare
[Bridge]
Drums resound like thunder down the glen
Shapes from time arise and breathe again
Feet untouched paths lead me where I’m free
The world behind now a faded spree
[Chorus]
Run the highlands feel the heartbeat rise
Through the heather and the stormy skies
Bound to nowhere tied to no man's plan
One step closer to who I am
