The Hymn of the North

Factories lie empty

Manufacturing emptiness

Life still needs to be filled nonetheless

So go and find something to love

But just promise me this one thing, yes

Oh, please stay in sight of the mainland

Yes, please stay in sight of the mainland

I don't want you to go

But I know you've got to go

So before you go

There's just one thing you ought to know, yeah

There's just one thing you ought to know, yeah

There's just one thing you ought to know, yeah

There's just one thing

Just one thing

You can fill your life with love

You can fill your life with owt

You can fill your life with food and drink

Or whatever floats your boat

I'll be watching from the shoreline

I'll be singing you this song

There's a million things in store for you

Just beyond the horizon

So, please stay in sight of the mainland

Yes, please stay in sight of the mainland

You're wiser than I'll ever be

You're beautiful, smart, so funny

You fill my heart, you fill my dreams

My only hope is you succeed, yeah

My only hope is you succeed, yeah

My only hope is you succeed, yeah

My only hope

You're my only hope

So please

Please

Please

Please

Please

Trust and believe

In you and me

Northern lights will guide you home

Northern lives, just like your own

Northern rain, northern rain turning into a flood

So don't forget your northern blood

No, never forget your northern blood

And please stay in sight of the mainland

Yes, please stay in sight of the mainland

Please stay in touch with me

In this contactless society

Anywhere that you may be

The Northern Star leads back to me, yeah

The Northern Star leads back to me, yeah

The Northern Star leads back to me, yeah

The Northern star

Yeah, the Northern Star

You're my Northern Star

So please
