Today's The Day


Recommended Posts

My Face book status today.

Brothers and Sisters in Scotland, today is the day.

For the first time in 307 years, the power to control your country's future is in your hands. Between 7 and 10 tonight that power is yours. The power to make decisions that will benefit all the people in Scotland, decisions made by the people, for the people.

It is this power that caused the three wise men of Westminster to race North. They did this out of fear. Fear that you the people might want to keep this power for yourselves and not give it back to them tonight. They came with fear, hoping you would be cowed into giving your power back. As Nelson Mandela said "May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears".

Today vote with hope, vote to retain your power that they covet.

Let's do this!

Vote Yes!

Today is the day, when we the people of Scotland, will make a choice, a choice that will define the future of our country for ever.

Today is the day, when we the people of Scotland , will decide whether we shall remain part of the United Kingdom, or stand up and reclaim our independence, as a sovereign nation.

Today is the day, when we the people of Scotland, will decide whether our children and grandchildren, will have the future we were denied.

Today is the day, when we the people of Scotland, finally have our say.

Old Runrig lyrics:

Tha spiorad nan daoine nas soilleir na ghealach
Nas doimhne na'n cuan
Geigh sinn ar n-aite 'san t-shaoghal
'S an ginealach ur Ard: blar nan daoine
Ard: guth is saorsa
Ard: tha sinn gluasad
Gu h-ard theid sinn suas

Chan urrain dhomh fuireach an taigh 'tha fo sgoth
Ach le creideamh is dochas gu deireadh mo la
Tha an lasair nad anam aig meadhan do bhith
Nas laidir's nas motha na riaghaltas no righ

The spirit of the people is brighter than the moon
Deeper than the ocean
We will find our place in the world
In a new generation
High: The peoples struggle
High: A Voice and self-determination
High: We are moving
We will reach up there

I can not live in the house of despondency
But in faith and in hope till the end of my days
The spark in your soul is the centre of your whole existence
And it is bigger and stronger than any government

Just do it Scotland. Win it today, celebrate tomorrow and reconcile the fearful and the bruised and then work together to build a better Scotland. Hope over fear!
