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

For we know the joy of life, what peace and love can

So spoke the wizard in his moun-tain 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
#(Note: Saw them perform this a couple of months ago. I'm pretty sure
#that the intro is played on a guitar tuned to an open "C".
#
#Due to my limited vocal range, I sing this in the key of "F"
#rather than its original key of "C".
#(guitar#1: capo on 1st fret - use E fingering
#guitar#2: capo on 3rd fret - use D fingering).
#I think that I like it best with just two acoustic guitars
#and lots of vocal harmony.
