The Magi (The Heart of Man's a Palace)

Peter, Paul and Mary

1. 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. 
   
R: 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. 
   
2. 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. 
   
3. 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 
R:

   In a promise that we made that never ends.
   In a promise that we made that never ends.
