Lyrics

Tears choking back my voice make this song so hard to sing.
I can't believe that you are gone, the future will be such a lonely thing.
On the wings of angels you're flying, memories are all that remain.
All the love in the world couldn't save your life.
May God give strength to those you left behind.

You are my northern star, shining through the night.
Shine on for me.

I hear your voice in the whispering winds, blowing through my hair.
An empty chair at a grieving table makes me with that you were there.
I can see you looking down on me from every star in the sky.
All I can do is sit and think about why.
Knowing how you suffered makes me break down and cry!

You are my northern star, shining through the night.
Shine on for me.

Today, the Lord will meet you in heaven, just as you knew he would.
Your mother and father and brother will greet you and welcome you home for good.
When it's my time to leave this world, can you take me by the hand?
You showed us a rainbow, made the hurt go away!
The clouds they parted as you went on your way back home!

You are my northern star, shining through the night.
Shine on for me.
