Runs Through My Blood

Verse 1 From the highlands and the green isle, Came voices strong and free, Scottish winds and Irish smiles, They sailed across the sea. Chorus Runs through my blood, the miner’s call, The shearer’s hands, the gold digger’s haul, Union hearts that stood so tall, Teachers, soldiers - we’ve had them all. Verse 2 Mums and dads with steady grace, Typists tapping, clerks in place, Cashiers counting, hotel doors, Justice served on courthouse floors. Chorus Runs through my blood, the miner’s call, The shearer’s hands, the gold digger’s haul, Union hearts that stood so tall, Teachers, soldiers - we’ve had them all. Bridge Through every name and every face, We’ve built a life, we’ve found our place, Stories woven, strong and true, All these voices live in you. Chorus Runs through my blood, the miner’s call, The shearer’s hands, the gold digger’s haul, Union hearts that stood so tall, Teachers, soldiers - we’ve had them all. ..... Teachers, soldiers - we’ve had them all. Chorus Runs through my blood, the miner’s call, The shearer’s hands, the gold digger’s haul, Union hearts that stood so tall, Teachers, soldiers - we’ve had them all. ..... Teachers, soldiers - we’ve had them all.
