On the nights, you get to sleep
You can't recall your dreams
You wake a thousand miles away
And you wonder where you've been
There's a quickening of the blood
Inside the hammer of your heart
To know where you are going
You gotta find out where you are
Like the Northern Star
We were like the Northern Star
We were young and we went far
We survived the Northern Star
Fixed on moving forward
Bent on looking back
Searching for the kinda life
Just to pull off and reflect
Is this all we've ever wanted
Or all we've ever known
Coming through the darkness
Trying to find our way back home
Like the Northern Star
We were like the Northern Star
We were young and we went far
We survived the Northern Star
Don't close your eyes (don't close your eyes)
Gotta keep them wide-e-e-e (don't close your eyes)
Don't close your eyes (don't close your eyes)
Gotta keep them wide
Like the Northern Star
We were like the Northern Star
We were young and we went far
We survived the Northern Star
We were young and we went far
We survived the Northern Star
We went far
We survived
