I Am Welsh

I live in the uttermost parts of Great Britain. Where the mountains fill our country. Where dragons still live and have their young. Where red kites soar. And where we look with longing to the sea for our countrymen and women, the Cornish, the Irish, the Bretons, the Manx, the Scottish, the Cumbrian.

When Lewellyn comes around
And he goes through Market Town
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
Are you ready?

When McMannus comes around
On his early morning rounds
Crying "Heron 'a' lay"
You'll be on the Celtic Ray

Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales
I can hear the mothers' voices calling
"Children, children, children"

When the coal brick man comes 'round
On a cold November day
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
Are you ready? Are you ready?

Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales
I can hear the mothers' voices calling
"Children, children, children"

Listen Jimmy! I want to go home.
Listen Jimmy! I want to go home.
I've been away from the Ray too long
I've been away from the Ray too long

You are telling me to include the English. @firefall

@Zahra I guess - it's one of my favourite Van Morrison songs, I just lifted the lyrics from the internet ... and I'd always heard that line as 'Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, Wales' .. which makes more sense to me, anyway.

Should check before I paste, next time :)

The English live on my island. They have for some time. But if the English the Polish too. And if the Polish, the people of Eastern Europe. And if the people of Eastern Europe, the people of Asia and the West Indies and anyone. Why, if the air is free, is not the land also. @firefall

@Zahra People get greedy. And jealous :(

Zahra · 22-25, F

I really believe the land should be free like the air. @firefall

@Zahra I'm pretty good with that, having drifted around so much of the world myself :)

Zahra · 22-25, F

You have? @firefall

@Zahra Sure ... New Zealand to Australia to New Zealand to the Phillipines to Japan to New Zealand to England to 3 different bits of the USA, for places to live. For places I've just visited, idk ... maybe 50 different countries?

I love everyone. Why may we not welcome everyone to our shores. Why do the English, newcomers to our islands, send people away! We didn’t send them away. @firefall
