North by Michael Frazer from Livingston United Kingdom

north was written on the way home from an unsuccessful job interview. i didn't really want that particularly job, i just needed a job.

i rembered that a friend told me that she believed we are born into the south of our potential, and our life's goal is to find our way to our own north. i'd written the first two verses before i got home, and added the rest later.

it 's an intense, but optimistic song. it’s a statement that, whatever life throws at me, i may fall flat on my face, but i will always get up and keep going.

it may be of interest to note that the word 'north' doesn't appear in the lyric, it simply states "i'll keep on heading up".

---------------------------------------

i hold on to my dreams
it’s harder than it seems
i should let them be
i’m too stubborn to believe
that nothing’s gonna change

weighs heavy on my soul
so much more than you could know
my head is in my hands
i try to understand
and i keep on heading up

and the lessons i could learn
impatiently i burn i burn it burns
when i’m backed against the wall
there’s just one way to fall
and i keep on heading up

i hold on to my dreams
it’s harder than it seems
i should let them be
i’m too stubborn to believe
that nothing’s gonna change

weighs heavy on my soul
so much more than you could know
my head is in my hands
i try to understand
and i keep on heading up

to hold on my dreams
is harder than it used to be
i stumble and i fall
i’m not perfect after all
and i keep on heading up
