True North Lyrics

They say
It"s a cold place
Icy and grey
With the wind that cuts through
Marrow and bone
And I"ve heard the earth cracks
Open wide
Before your eyes
And might swallow you whole

And they say you can get lost
For days in landscapes
Of big emotions

In the endless night
When the sun doesn"t care
To crawl out of bed behind the oceans

We never learned to use the compass
We never learned to read these maps
We always yearn for far off countries
We never found a straight way back
And it"s a miracle
Yeah it"s a miracle
We found true north
True north
True north
True north
Yeah
They say
It"s an old place
With ancient tales of violence and war
Passion and soul

And I"ve seen the West
Bleed into the East
Like a slow breeze
With the ripples of old

And I know I could get lost for life
Inside these stories I"ve heard

Cause it all just shows
That what we know
It"s just the tip, the tip, the tip of the iceberg
We never learned to use the compass
We never learned to read these maps
We always yearn for far off countries
We never found a straight way back
And it"s a miracle
Yeah it"s a miracle
We found true north
True north
True north

We found true north
True north
True north
True
True

They say it"s a cold place
Icy and grey with the wind that
Cuts through marrow and bone
But here"s my true north, my storm my ocean, my wave, my anchor,
And my new home...
