A New Future Lies Ahead

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Four winters kept me warm

I learned the names of every storm

The river taught me how to stay

Then showed me how to leave

Pre-Chorus

And I am not the same

Who walked into this place

Something great was given

Something no one can replace

Chorus

So I close this chapter softly

Close it like a door

What we made was only ours

And nothing like it came before

I close this chapter softly

Bow my head and turn

Grateful for the northern sky

Grateful for the fire that burned

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

(Oh-oh)

Verse 2

I count the mornings I was here

Each one sharper than the last

The pines are standing guard tonight

While I am walking past

Pre-Chorus

And I am not the same

Who first arrived back then

Something rare was carried

I would carry it again

Chorus

So I close this chapter softly

Close it like a door

What we made was only ours

And nothing like it came before

I close this chapter softly

Bow my head and turn

Grateful for the northern sky

Grateful for the fire that burned

Bridge

Grateful

Grateful

For the road that led me north

Grateful

Grateful

For the ones who walked it forth

Not a farewell

Just a turning of the page

Breakdown

A new future lies ahead

A new future lies ahead

Though the past was good and true

A new future lies ahead

A new future lies ahead

And I owe it all to you

Chorus

So I close this chapter softly

Close it like a door

What we made was only ours

And nothing like it came before

I close this chapter softly

Bow my head and turn

Grateful for the northern sky

Grateful for the fire that burned

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

(Oh-oh)

Oh-oh
