"Change The Copper Into Gold" lyrics - SEALS & CROFTS

Change the copper into gold. Make me what I am not now.
There is a secret I should know. I'd find it but I don't know.
Well I got so much inside. I give it till there's nothing left.
And the evil one must die, so I can see it through your eyes.

I long to see the snow white falcon as it takes flight.
Far beyond the mountains of love. Watch the smiths in the village of
A thousand dreams untold. Change the copper into gold.

Change the copper into gold. Abide forever here inside of me.
Teach me all that I should know. Release the powers of alchemy.
Fire and water cannot dwell eternally within this mortal shell.
I see the falcon far away. It's calling me to come and fly away.

I long to cross the valley of ether. Hear the songs they sing.
See the master's work unfold. Watch the smiths in the village of
A thousand dreams untold. Change the copper into gold.
