Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing

[Chorus]

The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you

Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing

You know it's hard away from you
Traveling roads and passing through
It's not for money and it's not for fame
I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely

Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights

Past or future, here or there
Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me
I hear your voice, it comforts me
In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me

[Chorus]

Peace enfolds the still night air
Home again I look for you and find you there

Destination homeward now
Take the easy way, bring me down
Making the hard way now I see
Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me

Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights

[Chorus]

The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you

[Chorus x2]
