I fear the day will come
when you ask me for directions
Afraid I'll have no good advice to give
I'm just as confused now as I was back then
Just as full of doubt as I've always been

Only one thing that I hold as true
And that is that I believe in you
My unconditional affection is yours
Do with it as you please

Cause you are my true north
my guiding star, you are my cynosure
and you alone can guide me home

You filled my life with purpose
and somehow I survived
Never thought I'd hear myself
say: "I'm glad to be alive"

But one of these days
I'm gonna change my evil ways
But until then, I'm gonna revel in sin
Come walk this crooked mile with me

Cause you are my true north
my guiding star, you are my cynosure
and you alone can guide me home

Daughter, let your light shine
Take this sinking ship and guide it home
Son, let your light shine
and you alone can guide me home
