Destination outward bound
 
 I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
 
 Horizons seem to beckon me
 
 Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
 
  
  The northern lights are in my mind
 
 They guide me back to you
 
 Horizons seem to beckon me
 
 Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
  
 
 You know it's hard away from you
 
 Travelling roads and passing through
 
 It's not for money and it's not for fame
 
 I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely
  
 
 Marking the space between the days
 
 Early hours pass away
 
 I sing to you of northern lights
 
 I sing for you of northern nights
  
 
 Past or future, here or there
 
 Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me
 
 I hear your voice, it comforts me
 
 In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me
  
 
 The northern lights are in my mind
 
 They guide me back to you
 
 Peace enfolds the still night air
 
 Home again I look for you and find you there
  
 
 Desintation homeward now
 
 Take the easy way, bring me down
 
 Making the hard way now I see
 
 Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me
  
 
 Marking the space between the days
 
 Early hours pass away
 
 I sing to you of northern lights
 
 I sing for you of northern nights
  
 
 [Chorus:]
 
 The northern lights are in my mind
 
 They guide me back to you
 
 The northern nights are in my eyes
 
 They guide me back to you
  
 
 [Chorus 2x]
  
 
 The northern lights are in my mind
 
 They guide me back to you
