Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night, wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man, kinda feelin' fine
[Verse 2]
He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire
And as he spoke, I felt a deep desire
To free the world of it's fear and pain
And help the people to feel free again
[Verse 3]
Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts?
'Cause then I know we'd find we're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life, the peace that love can bring
[Verse 4]
So spoke the wizard in his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And the million silver stars that guide me with their light
[Verse 5]
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
