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
