The Alchemist
By Elaine McGinty
Sitting in the dust
Coins turning to rust
What you’re waiting for
Is already yours
Get up now
Get up and fly
Take your dreams
And fly away
Get out of here
Before I chase you
Do my thing to bend
And make you
Mine
Holding up the sky
Eyes are wondering why
You wanted to be sure
So gold is never yours
Lead turned into gold
Fire blood no one knows
The secret is in your hand
Why travel the sea
And the land
The Alchemist is me
With fire my breath
You see
To chase a dream away
But find it
Right here
One day
Get out of here
Before I find you
Wasting dreams
And making lies true
Sitting there
