    Andalusian DreamsLyrics

    From the original lyric sheet for The Alchemist. Wording may differ slightly from the released recording.

    [Verse 1] Sunrise paints the fields of Spain, same as yesterday My sheep, they know the path we tread, no need to lead the way But in my heart, a whisper stirs, a question takes its hold Is this all there is to life, this story to be told? The wind it sighs through olive trees, a song of distant lands Of mountains high and oceans deep, beyond these sun-kissed sands. [Build] Andalusian dreams, under starry skies A hidden treasure gleams, reflected in my eyes A journey calls to me, a path I must pursue To find the destiny, that whispers, "Maktub..." [It is written] [Verse 2] I had a dream, a vision strange, beneath the fading light A child appeared, then pyramids, all bathed in golden white They told me seek a treasure there, across the desert wide A voice within me says, "Go forth," no longer can I hide. This feeling deep, it gnaws at me, a yearning to break free From all I know, all that's secure, to chase what's meant to be. [Chorus] Andalusian dreams, under starry skies A hidden treasure gleams, reflected in my eyes A journey calls to me, a path I must pursue To find the destiny, that whispers, "Maktub..." [Bridge] Is it foolishness or fate, this pull I can't deny? To leave the comfort of my flock, beneath the endless sky? [Chorus] Andalusian dreams, under starry skies A hidden treasure gleams, reflected in my eyes A journey calls to me, a path I must pursue To find the destiny, that whispers, "Maktub..."
