Arthur Lee Land True North lyrics

THIS FRIDAY EVENING THE LEAVES THEY FELL LIKE RAIN
JUST 8 DAYS AGO THE FIELDS THEY ALL WERE GREEN
NO ONE CAN EVER STOP, STOP THE DAYS FROM TURNING
WE CAN ONLY LEND A HAND AND KEEP ON LEARNING

I CAN FIND A MILLION REASONS WHY
WE'VE JUST GOT TO STEP OUTSIDE THE LINES
IT'S TIME TO OPEN OUR MINDS AND FIND A VISION
SURVEY TRUE NORTH

COME ON MS. JOSEPHINE, IT'S TIME TO STOP YOUR FUSSING
THERE'S SOMETHING BIGGER GOING ON SO LEARN SOME TRUSTING
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE YOU KNOW THIS LIFE IS GONNA BE OVER
SHOW SOME MERCY FOR YOURSELF AND QUIT, QUIT RUNNING FOR COVER

I CAN FIND A MILLION REASONS WHY
WE'VE JUST GOT TO STEP OUTSIDE THE LINES
IT'S TIME TO OPEN OUR MINDS AND FIND A VISION
SURVEY TRUE NORTH

WE KEEP INDULGING OUR CHILDREN
AND YOU KNOW THEY'RE GETTING WEIGHED DOWN
LETS TEACH THEM HOW TO FISH
THEN LEAVE LEAVE SOME FISH AROUND
YOU KNOW I'M GONNA HELP A BROTHER
IF I SEE HIM CRASH AND BURN AND

I'LL GIVE UP A LITTLE BIT OF SELF
TO KEEP THE WHEELS TURNING

I CAN FIND A MILLION REASONS WHY
WE'VE JUST GOT TO STEP OUTSIDE THE LINES
IT'S TIME TO OPEN OUR HEARTS AND LEARN TO LISTEN
SURVEY TRUE NORTH FOR OUR DREAMS AND VISIONS

I SAW A MAN FALLING, FALLING DOWN
I HEARD HIS BREATH AND I FOLLOWED THE SOUND
EXCUSING MY TIME I SAT ON THE GROUND
AND THE LIGHT SHOWERED US OVER

I CAN FIND A MILLION REASONS WHY
WE'VE JUST GOT TO STEP OUTSIDE THE LINES
IT'S TIME TO OPEN OUR MINDS AND FIND A VISION
SURVEY TRUE NORTH

I CAN FIND A MILLION REASONS WHY
WE'VE JUST GOT TO STEP OUTSIDE THE LINES
IT'S TIME TO OPEN OUR HEARTS AND LEARN TO LISTEN
SURVEY TRUE NORTH FOR OUR DREAMS AND VISIONS
