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
