True North

They say it's a cold place
Icy and grey
With a wind that cuts through
Marrow and bone

I've heard the Earth
Cracks open wide
Before your eyes, it might
Swallow you whole

They say you can get lost for days
In landscapes of great emotions
In the endless nights where the sun doesn't care
To crawl out of bed behind the ocean

We never learned to use a compass
We never learned to read these maps
We've always yearned for far off countries
We've never found the straight way back
And it's a miracle
(It's a miracle)

We found true north
True north

They say it's an old place
With ancient tales of
Violence and war
Passion and soul

I've seen the West bleed
Into the East like a slow breeze
Blowing ripples of hope

Does this all just show
That what we know is just the tip
(The tip)
The tip of the iceberg

We never learned to use a compass
We never learned to read these maps
We've always yearned for far off countries
We never found the straight way back

And it's a miracle
(It's a miracle)
Yeah it's a miracle
(Miracle)

We found true north
(True north)
We found true north
True north
