So Far, the Wizard Has Shown Great Qualities!
I can’t find the silver lining
It must buried underneath all the stones we left unturned
And how are you not sober at a time like this?
And how are you despondent with our ambitions on the line?
And why would I try harder
When I could be making strides
In more important places?
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 firestarter
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
But why can’t I be the problem and the solution?
I believe in the star-chasers
And the ground-dwellers
No one ever 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 no one ever said you have to know what you’re dreaming for
