Northern Star

(S. MacKinnon/M. Johnson)

Little man ,Where'd you go?
What'd you do? In a flash
Fingerprints, All that's left
On your way, Key in hand

Go set the world on fire with your big ideas
Say it good and loud for them all to hear
And Lord have mercy on those virgin ears
And don't you forget this

With every bridge you burn
With every lesson you unlearn
You can always find your way back home

And when it's all confused
You're overwhelmed and underused
Set your compass to the northern star
And find your way back home

Little girl, All grown up
So you think, In a whirl
Faded pink, All that's left
On your way, Swim or sink

Go set the world on fire with your courage and grace
Find your own way to your special place
And lord show some mercy on those who get in your way
And don't you forget this

CHORUS

Through the crack in the concrete
Through the grit in your eye
Through the dirt on the window
Try to find your light in the sky
In the dead of morning
In the still of night
The place that you come from
Is always in sight

CHORUS
