Guiding Star
Neil Finn
This adventure has left me reeling
There's no expression for what I'm feeling
See a lantern in the distance
Lights the pathway with least resistance
In you I have faith
Let’s make our escape
Somewhere there's a guiding star
Somewhere there's a safe retreat
Close your eyes and there you are
Somewhere there is sanctuary
We can find some peace
There's a calmness now descending
And I surrender to whatever comes
It's gonna work out but not how we planned it
Don't try to understand it
Just remember that it's true
In you I have faith
We'll make our escape
Somewhere there's a guiding star
Somewhere there's a safe retreat
Close your eyes and there you are
Somewhere there is sanctuary
We can find some peace
Somewhere there's a guiding star
You can breathe a sigh of relief
Somewhere there is sanctuary
We can find some peace
Somewhere there is sanctuary
We can find some peace
Somewhere there is sanctuary
We can find some peace

“It’s for a drug rehabilitation centre in New South Wales, Australia. A few people I know have been through there and had a tremendous amount of help from it. Rick Grossman [bassist in Divinyls and Hoodoo Gurus] rang me up and asked me if I could think about contributing a song, and ‘Guiding Star’ was sitting there as a dormant species, gathering dust, and it seemed perfectly suited.”
