For so long I had been reaching for a star Then
One day I grabbed one but didn't know what is was for
(It wasn't beautiful like they had promised it would be)
I hung that star back onto the sky It belonged in someone else's hands
(It wasn't mine it didn't shine for me)
To just grow with the grain
Can lead the heart astray
True north is not a destination
It's a landscape within
In the midst of solitude
It all became loud and clear
I had been running for so long
I had forgotten what I was running towards
So I let the mind wander to uncharted land
These northern winds lead my inner pilgrim
When the horizon has lost its charm
Walk the other way there's a new one waiting to be discovered
I found a quiet place where I could hear my heart beating I
Pushed my palm against my chest then I started dancing to the beat
(If we listen closely we can hear the beat amplify)
I will write my own path with or without you But
I'm done wasting ink about someone else's pleasure
(The ink I spill is for the story I want to lead)
The heart is the compass
The mind my map
True north is not a destination
It's a landscape within
In the midst of solitude
It all became loud and clear
I had been running for so long
I had forgotten what I was running towards
So I let the mind wander to uncharted land
These northern winds lead my inner pilgrim
When the horizon has lost its charm
Walk the other way there's a new one waiting to be discovered
Behind our fears the truth rests
Waiting to be awakened
And it takes courage to walk your own way
I believe we're all black sheep in white sheep clothing
Kneeling by a shepherd that lives only in our heads
Fuck this cult of indifference
If life isn't for me
(Then who's it fucking for?)
In the midst of solitude
I began to create
There is no compass for the heart to follow
Let your heart lead the way
To find true north
You have to know where you stand today
Cause it's so easy to get lost
In a world of magnetic declination
Embrace your solitude
And listen for your call
Don't drown in a world of noise
Make your own
