We Can Make It Ours

from Blackhill​.​.​. and Back by Chris Swinney

lyrics

The mountain’s getting higher
Like the one we need to climb
They say there’s less demand
And now we’re only marking time
So why without a warning
When they must have had a clue
Did they have to wait until our fate was overdue

Let’s get our heads together
Show them what we’re gonna do
We’re running out of time
But there’s the will to see it through
Everyone’s behind us
Except the powers that be
They’ll try to bind us
And remind us it’s too late
We can’t escape bureaucracy

We can make it ours
We can turn it all around
Make it pay in this old town again
We can make it ours
Take a look at what we’ve found
A plan that has to save us from the end

One cold night in The Borders
So many people came
To listen to the rescue plan
And help us fight our claim
Everyone’s behind us
Except the powers that be
But now the press have got it wrong
For everyone to see

We can make it ours
We can turn it all around
Make it pay in this old town again
We can make it ours
Take a look at what we’ve found
A plan that has to save us from the end
