I am the north star in the night sky
Guiding home the lost just by passing time.
I am the second thought in your mind
When you realize there was still more to find.
I am right where I always was–
The one thing about it all you can trust.
I will be there until the end of time.
I will hold back the dark to know you are fine.
Even if you forget to look up;
Even when you are ashamed of what you have done;
Even when your heart fails to beat
And your legs shift into retreat;
When the sky is dark
And every swing misses the mark;
When the ground crumbles beneath your feet,
You can still reach for me.
I will wait here all alone
At the edge of the vast unknown,
Because I still have sight to see
You are what matters to me.
I am the breeze on a summer day
Cooling the path you choose to take.
I am the punchline of your mistake
That will never let you be alone when you break.
When the night turns cold
And you are just about to fold,
Think of my touch– my hold,
And let it warm your soul,
Because I am what I want most.
Even if I have to live as a ghost,
I will be the hope you find
In the darkest places of your life.
