Have you ever been to Northpoint

to spend your time and pray

the prison walls are dark and cold and grey

the writing on the wall at Northpoint

speaks to a silent room

they shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom



Chorus:

How could we get any closer, so high is the wire

And the guards won't listen

They won't believe me

and then it all came back

Somewhere far above, has a new day risen

Way beyond the searchlight, comes alive



Then on a bright day at Northpoint

the gate was open wide

they chanced to look at what was inside

there were a million stars at Northpoint

and from the silent tomb

they took it to the heart,

and left for the moon



Repeat Chorus



Have you ever been to Northpoint

To spend your time and pray

The prison walls are dark and cold and grey
