Weight on my shoulder

But I'm walking so tall

Out into the new horizons

Wonder in everything

No matter how great or small

Howling like the midnight

Howling like the midnight sun

This ain’t no pale reflection

This is the real thing

New horizons, new horizons within

Your heart ain’t yours to control

No matter how tight the rein

Love will find its own direction

A time to reap, a time to sow

And many a time to cry in vain

Ah but now's the time to celebrate

The glory of this imperfection

Same thing that's scrawled across the stars

It’s written under our skin

New horizon, new horizon within

Things come too easy I get suspicious

Things come too slow I get bored

If it don’t work out I get superstitious

But if it does, then oh my words

So I’m gathering all the remnants of beauty

From this wilderness in spin

And now I'm gonna light my own flame

Cos I'm charged with the radiance of the dawn

That's been so long breaking

And now there ain’t nowhere

There ain’t nowhere I won't write your name

There’s a time to search for understanding

Sometimes you’ve just gotta sing

New horizons, new horizons within

Baby there’s no need to get precious

When we know that everything must change

Complacency it can be so vicious

Turn this love into a cage

Same thing that's scrawled across the stars

It's written under our skin

New horizons, new horizons within

New horizons, new horizons within
