[Verse 1]
Step into the spotlight
Being the lighthouse beacon
In the darkest of night
Flick the switch, become
[Chorus]
Turn on your light (bright)
Let it shine bright (light)
Letting us know (go)
The best way to go (flow)
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills, Choir]
[Verse 2]
Shine a guiding light (delight)
Illumination (creation)
Navigation’s might (right)
Destination (saturation)
[Chorus]
Turn on your light (bright)
Let it shine bright (light)
Letting us know (go)
The best way to go (flow)
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Piano, Choir]
[Bridge]
The North Star
(Polaris is)
You are
The Crux
Of the crux
The moon, the sun
How soon we run
[Chorus]
Turn on your light (bright)
Let it shine bright (light)
Letting us know (go)
Which way to go (flow)
[Outro]
Letting us flow (go)
Which way to know (flow)
A SCIENCE NOTE
Navigating naturally without modern technology involves using various celestial bodies, landmarks, and environmental cues. Here are some natural navigational tools similar to the North Star:
Celestial Navigation
- North Star (Polaris)
- In the Northern Hemisphere, Polaris is a key star for navigation as it remains almost fixed in the sky, indicating true north.
- Southern Cross (Crux)
- In the Southern Hemisphere, the Southern Cross constellation can help locate the South Celestial Pole, aiding in navigation.
- Sun
- The Sun’s position in the sky changes throughout the day. In the morning, it rises in the east, reaches its highest point in the south (in the Northern Hemisphere) or north (in the Southern Hemisphere) around noon, and sets in the west.
- Moon
- The phases of the moon and its position in the sky can provide directional clues. For instance, a crescent moon’s horns point roughly south if you are in the Northern Hemisphere and north if you are in the Southern Hemisphere.
