I’m Going to Grade 1
I got my dresses
But I don’t have my name tags.
I have my school jersey
And it’s too big for me.
I have my socks.
I have my shoes.
I get to play with my friend
If I make another friend.
We are going to
do work
and make music with my violin.

SCOTLAND
I miss the hills, the sea, the air,
The heathers purple glorys there,
My heart and soul is always there,
I know because I left them there,
Come to me, come to me,
The sea seems to sing,
The bonnie sand dunes of Aviemore,
The bracken, fresh and sweet,
Where I did lay my naked frame,
Upon the bonny beach,
Come to me, come to me,
The sea seems to sing,
I see the winds whip the sands,
Blowing here and there,
The sea sparkles blue and fine,
Oh how I wish thee were mine,
Come to me, come to me
The sea seems to sing
I follow the shells down the beach
I feel my arms stretch out to reach,
Come To me, come to me,
The sea seems to sing,
I feel the waters of the sea,
Lap up against my naked breasts,
Come to me, come to me,
The sea seems to sing,
I’d gladly die for thee my sea,
Still, thee would never rest,
If I gave thee all of me,
Come to me, come to me,
The sea seems to sing,
Come ye back to bonny Scotland,
On the wings of the wind
