Lyrics: KOEL
Music: KOEL
Wind through the wheat the scent of grain
This black earth raised my mother’s name
Every winter white storms come again
Stories by the fire warm our hands
Blue skies drift the rivers hum
Echoes of home that I came from
We laughed we drank till the break of dawn —
Hearts like steel we carry on
Northland my home —
You’re carved in my bones
The horn still plays that silver tone
The moon’s my cup I drink alone
Northland my home —
Where I was born and grown
The love the fight the frozen night —
It’s burning bright my northern light
Yeah—
I came from the cold with the fire in my veins
Mama said “boy don’t you drown in the pain ”
City lights fade but the soul remains
Carry that North in my blood in my name
No gold chain just a frost on my skin
Dreams got weight but I still dive in
Every loss I took I made it my gain —
Now the snow don’t chill it feeds my flame
Northland my home —
Through storm and snow
No matter how far I go
Your voice still calls below
Northland my home —
I feel your heartbeat slow
Still ticking away inside my soul
You’ll never let me go
If I fall asleep before the dawn
Let the north wind carry me home
