The Magi (the Heart Of Man's A Palace)

Peter, Paul & Mary

Oh the magi were the prophets

And they wandered through the desert

They saw the star above them

And they knew they'd find their way

Through the valley of the shadow

With the hope of human kindness

They were strengthened by the vision

Of a new and brighter day.



Chorus:

And the wisemen spoke of peace on earth,

Of harmony and struggle

Know you now a cycle's gone and a new one is revealed.

In the weaving of your fingers

In the whisper of a love that's born again

In the weaving of your fingers

In a promise that we made that never ends.



Well now each man is a pilgrim,

Yes, we all must make the journey

And it seems that time is telling us to be all that we can

To help lift up the fallen, we must sow the seeds of goodness

The torch is passed among us now to light the way of man.



For the heart of man's a palace

And his dreams are as the sunlight

They burn away the darkness, as they warm the freezing cold

As an eagle flying higher, as a river through the canyon

The diamond star shines down upon, a pathway to the soul



(Chorus)2x



In a promise that we made that never ends.

In a promise that we made that never ends.
