I came north with a tired old heart,
Boots full of dust, but a brand-new start.
The wind told stories I almostI ca knew,
Ancient and kind, like the sky breaking through.
Heather and stone beneath silver rain,
Every step whispering my name.

And I felt small, but I felt free,
Like the mountains were waiting on me.

Oh, Cairngorms mountains, hold me still,
Teach my restless soul how to heal.
Through the cold and the open sky,
You remind me how to try.
If I’m lost, if I don’t know how,
I’ll find my way in your silence now.

Rivers run clear like an honest song,
They don’t rush, they just roll along.
I laid my fears on the granite ground,
Let the echoes carry them out of town.
There’s a truth in the northern light,
Soft as hope in the falling night.

Every scar feels lighter somehow,
With the hills standing witness now.

Oh, Cairngorms mountains, hold me still,
Teach my restless soul how to heal.
Through the cold and the open sky,
You remind me how to try.
If I’m lost, if I don’t know how,
I’ll find my way in your silence now.

I’ve chased the noise, I’ve chased the flame,
Worn out roads and borrowed names.
But here the quiet speaks the truth,
There’s strength in age, there’s grace in roots.

Just me and the wind tonight,
Learning how to breathe again.

Oh, Cairngorms mountainsorms, stay with me,
When the world gets too loud to see.
If I fall, if I start to doubt,
You’ll be the calm I’m reaching out.
When I’m gone, I’ll still hear you call,
In my blood, in my bones, in all.

When the road pulls me far away,
Your shadow’s where my heart will stay.
