Song for the North Star

They gave me money

To find the sky

And I took it with no question

Didn't even ask them why

But days are open

And skies are free

And the time it took to learn that

Didn't leave its chains on me

I lived in shadow

Way from the sun

And the tremblin' in my mind

Kept my heart and body on the run

When freedom called us

Called out our names

And the beckon of the highway

Saw through all our useless games

The love we wanted

Was lost in lies

And the chance that slipped on by me

Like the flashin' sorrow in her eyes

Then we took the rise together

For the first time in our lives

Feeling just like one suspended

Then we said time won't keep our strife

Our time is open

For us to see

And our freedom schemes are open

Like the seagulls soaring at the sea

And our freedom schemes are open

Like the seagulls soaring at the sea
