From the Wheel In Motion DVD. The song is from 'The Big Wheel'(1991).

When you close your eyes there's a frightened pride that lives for you

That your mother's life and your father's eyes can't hide

You had no choice didn't ask the dice too fall for you

Still your courage comes like thunder through the skies

You're always the winner, the victor and the giver

Somewhere through that winter you'll never be alone

For evermore the winner

The taker and the giver

Somewhere through that winter you will not grow old

So you carry time down the tortured line where mysteries show

Well hidden from life's learned and life's wise

Mans useless ways and worthless conversation

Lie well exposed and humbled in your smile

(Chorus)

I am led to believe that the song was written for a boy by the name of David Gibson who died as a result of leukemia (A family member) He passed away in the early 1990's.

Does anyone know the history behind this song? Just out of curiosity, my mum told me about this song recently, saying it was written for a young boy suffering from some sort of terminal illness? No idea if that's the case or not, but just wondered... Beautiful song regardless :) xx

Yes, Calum and Rory Macdonald usually writes the music. They have recorded a few covers and re-arranged some traditional songs too.

@erlmort Maybe it's for the best that he sings his own songs he has recorded with Runrig, with exception of a few classics of course! They both have their own accents ...
