North Star

[Verse]
When I cross over, I’m gonna follow the deer trails
So my soul - it won’t get lost
Creek bed to the river, where I drink my water
Rest for my journey on the banks of the Etowah

[Chorus]
Everyone before me, those that come after
May we all find our way through
I am part of my Maker’s story
And I’m washed in the spirit of the multitude

[Verse]
Oh my soul, I’m gonna wait for nightfall
Find the North Star to lead me on
‘Cause it’s brought so many to freedom
They were more deserving, but still I know

[Chorus]
Everyone before mе, those that come after
Wе will all find our way through
I am part of my Maker’s story
And I’m washed in the spirit of the multitude

[Verse]
Now if I fly, I’m gonna heed the bird songs
So my wings they know their place
In the Great Migration to the new horizon
Where our better angels and justice reigns

[Chorus]
Everyone before me, those that come after
May we all help each other through
To a land that knows no suffering
Without the mercy and the healing balm

[Outro]
Everyone before me, those that come after
May we all find our way home
Our Way Home
Our Way Home
Our Way Home
