Lyrics:

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

He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire

And as he spoke, I felt a deep desire

To free the world of its fear and pain

And help the people to feel free again

Why don’t we listen to the voices in our hearts

‘Cause then I know we’d find that we’re not so far apart

Everybody’s got to be happy, everyone should sing

For we know the joy of life that peace that love can bring

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
