While others moved, you held your light
A single point in folded night
I lost the map, I lost my way
But still you stayed the same each day
You were the North when I was lost
A steady flame, no matter cost
I turned through storms and slipped through time
But every sky still drew your line
The seasons spun, the cities changed
My hands grew cold, my thoughts estranged
Yet in the dusk, I’d raise my eyes
And find you resting in the skies
You never spoke, but always knew
The routes I took to get to you
And though my feet forgot the ground
Your silence always pulled me round
You were the North, the fixed and true
The one that night kept holding to
And if I fall or drift too far
You’ll wait—unchanged, my oldest star
A single point in folded night
I lost the map, I lost my way
But still you stayed the same each day
You were the North when I was lost
A steady flame, no matter cost
I turned through storms and slipped through time
But every sky still drew your line
The seasons spun, the cities changed
My hands grew cold, my thoughts estranged
Yet in the dusk, I’d raise my eyes
And find you resting in the skies
You never spoke, but always knew
The routes I took to get to you
And though my feet forgot the ground
Your silence always pulled me round
You were the North, the fixed and true
The one that night kept holding to
And if I fall or drift too far
You’ll wait—unchanged, my oldest star
