This is a special song created for the film "My Invincible Compass" by Matt MIller.
The film follows the trajectory of Tomoya, a boy orphaned in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, who navigates his way through the foster care system in Japan towards a better future.
Please visit my-invincible-compass.com to learn more about the movie and support it, as well as the movement to improve lives of foster care kids in Japan.
This acoustic version is based on a previous song Elizaveta co-wrote with Mitchell Broom, "Afterglow."
I stand here alone
Hands clasped
I stopped many times
But I’m finally out of the valley
Stars hidden by clouds in the night
But my heart is full of light
Until I’m able to seize my future
This is my compass
Where do I return?
There are lights in the distance
If there are obstacles in my way
I will find another path
Right now it’s just before dawn
I am headed for the East
My heart is a compass,
Longing to see the horizon
This is my compass,
Longing to see the horizon
