I must rise, I must rise and go For your voice is beckoning me on home I will write every ink stained sheet Know that it is for you every single drop of it Though the pull of the tide is stronger now I'll return to your side somehow I know you will guide me home Like the lighthouse in the storm I know you will see this through North star lady I'll follow you There are those who have never known Never had the courage, never willing to let go Spit the words trapped down in your lungs Out into the ether for they only weigh you down And the toll that it takes on your body And the sound that it makes when you set it free I know you will guide me home Like the lighthouse in the storm I know you will see this through North star lady I'll follow you
