lyrics

north star

You’re standing on the edge of action,
Your thoughts are like the wind and rain
Your dreams are an angry thunder,
Loudly crashing through your brain

In despondent desperation,
Go build your house on higher ground
Soon the sparks of your desires
Will fly like birds and burn it down

Now you’re drunk on all your searching
Stumbling down an empty road,
Falling through the thorns
Just outside of Eden
And fracturing the hearts you hold

Chorus:
May the North Star, rising like a beacon brightly
Shine upon the path you need
The North Star and all that you’ve seeking rightly
That is where your way will lead
You can’t stop the leaves from blowing through the breeze
Or run the setting sun back to the top of the trees
But all you ever thought you are lies with following your guiding star
Why don’t you go?

Mighty Polaris, please guide us home
Through the darkness we have endured
Distant sun, Illuminate my galaxy
I, too, seem to be a verb

Lately, I’ve been driving all of my heat inward
With fusion and deep density
When I look around at the universe and You and me
I see a holy synergy

I see the North Star…
