So Far, the Wizard Has Shown Great Qualities!

We found the silver lining 
buried underneath all the stones we left unturned 

But we're prevailing at a time like this
We're stronger with our ambitions on the line

Why can’t I be the problem and the solution?
I am the way I am,
But that doesn’t mean I can’t work to change 

I believe in the blaze 
And the fire-starter 
No one would get anywhere 
without a burning passion

And I believe in the serpent and the lion,
The fierce and the unforgivable
The mysterious and the undeniable 

Sitting on the bench 
Where we counted stars and second chances 
It was our spirited way of saying
We would try a little harder 

Heroes don't come with capes,
They come with forgotten solutions

I believe in the star-chasers 
And the ground-dwellers 
and I never said 
You have to know what you’re dreaming for 

But I believe in the phoenix and the ashes, 
The visionaries and the silence breakers,
The ground-dwellers and the star-chasers 

I think I could find the silver lining 
If I gazed up at the sky and remembered all my second chances 

The only thing I need to do is remember that I have them 
But you'll never hear me say you have to know what you’re dreaming for
