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
Away from the sun
And the trembling in my mind
Kept my heart and body on the run

Then 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
