Am
Have you ever been to north point
Dm Am
To spend your time and pray
Dm Am Dm
The prison walls are dark and cold and grey
Am
The writing on the wall at north point
Dm Am
Speaks to a silent room
Dm Am Dm
They shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom

Bb C
how could we get any closer, so high is the wire
F

Bb C Dm
they won`t believe me

Bb C
and then it all came back
F
somewhere far above, has a new day risen
Bb C Dm
way beyond the searchlight, comes alive, comes alive

Am
Then on a bright day at north point
Dm Am
The gate was open wide
Dm Am Dm
They chanced to look at what was inside

Am
There were a million stars at north point
Dm Am
And from the silent tomb
Dm Am
They took it to the heart,
Dm
And left for the moon
