Walk with me to the northern light
Where the world tips over the edge
Talk to me, tell me the story
Where we stand is now
The past a memory
Filled with greatness and with sorrow
Let us forget tomorrow
Where we stand is now

We are awake, but are we conscious?
We are alive, but are we alight?
We are stars, but where’s the moon?
We love the light, but does it blind us?
Will we see here?
Where we stand is now

We live and learn and think we know
True greatness knows it does not
So open up, let it go then
Where we stand is now
The past lives on but
It won’t guarantee future respect
Life remains a balancing act
Where we stand is now

We are awake, but are we conscious?
We are alive, but are we alight?
We are stars, but where’s the moon?
We love the light, but does it blind us?
Will we see here?
Where we stand is now

What is the fabric of the legend?
Sown into the silver seam of light
To believe I am possible
Where we stand is now
It might might spark off soon
Time synchronized before it went
I pray that it was well spent
Where we stand is now

Here and now
We live here and now
Don’t look back
Tomorrow’s a mystery
Here, In the moment
There is only here and now

We are awake, but are we conscious?
We are alive, but are we alight?
We are stars, but where’s the moon?
We love the light, but does it blind us?
Will we see here?
Where we stand is now
