The vote for yes, the vote for no, now we have made a choice
However you wanted the vote to go, at least we had a voice
A lesson in democracy, did the wider world take note?
The peaceful process a novelty, in history they wrote

So we must unite, the left and the right
Forward we must go, the yes and the no
Together we must stand, and try to understand
Each other’s point of view, so we know what to do

To make this country a better place for all

No room for aggravation, no bitterness or redress
Look around this great nation, see the problems we must address
Energy wasted all these years, living in the past
Every Scot should have no fears, no matter how their vote was cast

So we must unite, the left and the right
Forward we must go, the yes and the no
Together we must stand, and try to understand
Each other’s point of view, so we know what to do

To make this country a better place for all

Do not be afraid of what lies ahead, whatever comes to pass
Do not let hatred rule our heads, or dwell in wars of class
This land has made us proud, but can we all now be agreed?
Hand in hand, let’s be avowed, Scotland will succeed

So we must unite, the left and the right
Forward we must go, the yes and the no
Together we must stand, and try to understand
Each other’s point of view, so we know what to do

To make this country a better place for all
