Verse 1 (strumming, forward motion)
The morning broke in silver light,
the restless wind was calling home.
We walked where northern shadows fall,
two beating hearts against the cold.
And every mile we left behind
fell quiet rising with the day —
for in your steps I found a strength
that carried storms and doubt away.
Pre-Chorus (builds, drums come in soft)
And you said, “We rise together.”
And I said, “There’s nothing we can’t face.”
Chorus (wide, open, energetic)
Under northern skies, where the tide runs wild,
you lift me up like the sunrise bright.
Through the roaring wind, through the breaking night —
I’ll carry you, as you carry me through the light.
Verse 2 (more lift, fiddle / pipes accenting)
The Highlands sang along our road,
the heather shining in the breeze.
Your laughter rolled like distant waves,
a rising tide that set me free.
And every fear I used to know
fell quiet standing by your side —
we found a fire in gentle hands
that even mountains can’t deny.
Pre-Chorus (stronger)
And you said, “Just walk beside me.”
And I said, “I am stronger with your hands.”
Chorus (bigger, Atlantic sweep)
Under northern skies, where the tide runs wild,
you lift me up like the sunrise bright.
Through the roaring wind, through the breaking night —
I’ll carry you, as you carry me through the light.
Bridge (epic, expansive, Mighty Atlantic pure)
And if the storm comes rolling in,
we’ll stand upon the edge of skies —
for every wave that meets the land
has traced a thousand ancient lines.
And if the daylight fades again,
we’ll rise like oceans learn to rise —
for every river finds its sea,
and every heart its northern light.
Final Chorus (full lift, big drums, pipes soaring)
Under northern skies, where the tide runs wild,
you lift me up, and the world feels right.
Through the darkest waves, through the longest night —
I’ll carry you,
as you carry me
into the light.
Into the light…
under northern skies.
