Story Behind The Song

How white men pushed indians off their land

Song Description

How time and places change and different races have their day

Lyrics

Northern Lights


Em D C Em
Northern Lights that shine so bright reflections from the earth and the moon
I look above I can see the lights that shine across the seas
G D Em D
Northern lights in the sky, So far away they shine so bright
Northern lights in the dead of night, makes me wish I could fly

Resting near a mountain lake the fires glow it warms our souls
Not much to do, not much to say, the reasons clear we cannot run away

Chorus

The light cuts through the darkest night like a blade of steel on a long sharp knife
It’s the way I feel that makes it real this mood I’m in I just can’t explain
Our fathers came when the land was young, the white came we had nowhere to run
It’s sad to see how things have changed, our people are no longer free

Northern lights in the sky, Yellow moon lights are way
Find your way in the light, Tomorrow is another day
