The Alchemist's Garden [Intro] Morning comes Through the window Dust and gold Across the floor No circles drawn No secrets left Just sunlight And an open door [Verse 1] I wake up with the sun And dirt beneath my hands No stone turns into gold No fire obeys command The old days feel so far Like stories someone told I used to chase the world Now I just watch things grow A broken fence A rusty wheel A field that needs my care Funny how the smallest things Can teach you to repair [Verse 2] I learned that nothing comes Without a price to pay But sometimes what you give Doesn't have to fade away A seed goes in the ground Then waits beneath the rain You don't command the earth You simply trust the change And when the harvest comes I finally understand Some things are built by time Not by the strength of your hands [Pre-Chorus] So let it grow Let it breathe Let tomorrow Come to me I don't need To know the way I'll take the road That comes today [Chorus] Hey! Raise your hands, let the whole world hear! I've got no magic, but I'm still here! Hey! Turn it up, let the old days go! There's a life outside the circle I know! I gave my power And I found my life I lost the fire But I found the light Hey! If the world won't change for me I'll plant my feet And let it be! [Verse 3] Sometimes I break a tool And curse the morning sky I reach for what I used to have Then laugh and wonder why My brother comes back home With stories of his own We argue over dinner Like we've always known The days are not so grand The work is sometimes hard But every little scar Has left another mark And somewhere in the quiet When the evening settles down I hear the younger me Still searching underground [Bridge] Maybe equivalent exchange Was never about the cost Maybe every road we take Is worth the things we've lost Maybe what we call a miracle Is simply growing slow Maybe all I ever needed Was a place to let things grow [Pre-Chorus] So let it grow Let it breathe No more chains No alchemy Take my hand Come along We've been waiting Long enough [Chorus] Hey! Raise your hands, let the whole world hear! I've got no magic, but I'm still here! Hey! Turn it up, let the old days go! There's a life outside the circle I know! I gave my power And I found my life I lost the fire But I found the light Hey! If the world won't change for me I'll plant my feet And let it be! [Outro] Morning comes Through the window Dust and gold Across the floor No circles drawn No secrets left Just life... And a little more.
