   This is a challenge for everyone - serious please.
   I know there are excellent songs out there but this is for a new one.
   Everyone to contribute a line of your own that would make a fitting National Anthem for an Independent Scotland.
   No using any other songs except for inspiration. Words must be your own and from the heart.
   Imagine it being sung at Hampden when we play England in November after a YES vote.

   It has to contain the phrase 'Hope over Fear'.

   'Divorce is a four letter word" should be in there.
   
   Oh and "Where's your oil gone?" really ought to be involved, too.

   Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears
   
   Ains a year say a prayer faur me
   Close yir een an remember me
