Lyrics:

Here is where the heart is
Beats out like a drum
Here is where the mavis flies
Where?she?once came from
Here?is where the mother tongue resides
Far?from the hands of hate and greed and lies

This is?where?my?home is
The shore,?the sea, the?sand
This is where my family
Were raised from working hands
This is where the toil and sweat and tears
Knew only hardship through those working years

From farm and croft and residence
They cleared them from the land
Families of young and old
With one wave of a hand
Were sent on board to sail the ocean wide
To a stranger's land o'er wind and sea and tide

Here is where the heart lies
Like those who've been before
Here there are no broken ties
With brothers on the shore
Here is where the spirit will return
No more to sigh, no more to weep and mourn

Here is where the heart is
Beats out like a drum
Here is where the mavis flies
Where she once came from
Here is where the mother tongue resides
Far from the hands of hate and greed and lies
