Song - "THE WIZARD" - lyrics - (URIAH HEEP)

"THE WIZARD" from the album "Demons and Wizards" URIAH HEEP.

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 feeling 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 

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

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 a million silver stars 

That guide me with their light
