Southern Cross
A reflective folk-rock song by Chris Greig & The Merchants, inspired by New Zealand's night sky.
Southern Cross shines above the bay
Guiding sailors night and day
Stars align in the velvet dark
Leaving their eternal mark
Chorus
Southern Cross, light my path
Through the storm and aftermath
In your glow, find my north
Southern Cross, set me forth
Whispers from the ancient sea
Calling out to you and me
Under skies so vast and wide
Southern Cross, our guide
Chorus
Southern Cross, light my path
Through the storm and aftermath
In your glow, find my north
Southern Cross, set me forth
Bridge
When the clouds obscure your fire
Memories keep the desire
Till the veil lifts once more
Southern Cross, to the core
Outro
Southern Cross, forever gleam
In my heart, like a dream
