There’s Just Sky Above my Head

In 2017 the people of the Isle of Eigg in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland celebrated 20 years of Independence since their community buy-out in 1997. This song was written in the run-up to that anniversary and is dedicated to all residents and visitors – past, present and future – who have been, are or will be custodians of the island.

Lyrics

There’s just sky above my head
And this land beneath my feet
Where a thousand rocks and mountains fell
And were washed by the rolling deep
And we’re just passing through on the rim of a turning wheel
And there’s nothing here to own at all, nothing here to keep
