Introduction:
Em C9
They say it's a cold place
C9
Icy and grey
With a wind that cuts through
Em
Marrow and bone
C9
I've heard the earth cracks open wide
C9
Before your eyes and might
Em
Swallow you whole
C9
They say you can get lost for days
C9 Em
In landscapes of big emotions
C9
In the endless night when the sun doesn't care
C9 Em
To crawl out of bed behind the oceans
C9
We never learned to use a compass
C9
We never learned to read these maps
Em
We always yearned for far-off countries
Em
We never found a straight way back
Am
And it's a miracle
Am
A miracle
Em C9
We found true north
Em C9
True north
Em Am C9
True north
Em C9
They say it's an old place
C9
With ancient tales
Of violence and war
Em
Passion and soul
C9
But I've seen the West bleed into the East
C9
Like a slow breeze
Em
Blowing ripples of hope
C9
And I know I could get lost for life
C9 Em
Inside these stories I've heard
C9
'Cause it all just shows that what we know
C9 Em
Is just the tip, the tip, the tip of the iceberg
C9
