lyrics

NORTHERN LIGHTS
© Sandy Garnett / Chelsea Media

I’m getting restless, my heart’s growing tired
Seasons changing my spirit is wired
Building my castle, with the lessons I wrestled
It’s time to wake myself and taste the light of day
I’ve got to run now, 'fore my mind grows dull and old
Fight conventional wisdom break the mold
While my spirit is long and free
Born a rebel so mysteriously
Tap my fountain of youth and go for a run

Walk with me old friend, don’t be afraid no
‘Cause I want to pick you up and carry you away
When we touch that mountainside
Be inspired and filled with pride
In searching for light we’ll find a dazzling array

I feel a buzzing, crossing the passes
Want to spark some rowdy souls if we are able
My lost hesitation has caved into elation
Throw all them hopes and fears
and dreams out on the table
Spent my years creating, learn to see blankly
Life and love and hearts
and tears all rest inside me
I stand on the shoulders
Of my family and friends now
Take this dusty song and pass it on

Fly with me old friend, don’t hesitate no
Because I want to pick you up and carry you away with me
When we touch that mountainside
We’ll be inspired and filled with pride
Northern Lights will melt the night away

When my brother turns to me and says
You’re the best friend that I had today
I recall that light that shines right through
And keeps me true to stay that way

To be sailing strong on my dreams
And remember when my challenge seemed
A Great Wall to scale that fell right down
When I take my life and made it mine

When I look at the farm stars my old friend says
He’s a shell of a man I say don’t speak that way
You’re a man with a plan moving fast as you can
To grow your children tomorrow

When my father whispers in my ear
All the truth that my youth never strained to hear
As a young man with a heart and a plan
Take his words and pass them on now

Take your life and pass it on
It’s one damn thing you can count upon
Take your dreams embrace that light
With the magic you surf inside tonight
