Listen to Your HeartThe Alchemist

[Verse 1] Crossin' desert days, the silence starts to speak But inside me there's a voice, that whispers I'm too weak. My heart recalls the fearful thoughts, remembers every pain, Says "Turn back now, forget the dream, escape this desert plain." Shows visions lost like desert dust, where hope begins to rust... But deeper still, a signal true, I know that I can trust. [Chorus] Oh, listen to your heart... Maktub... leads me back to you... Oh, listen to your heart... Maktub... leads me back to you... [Verse 2] It clings to what I've gathered, the gold, the love I found, Says "This is safety, this is life, stay on this solid ground." But the Alchemist spoke wisdom clear, "Know your heart right through... Past the noise and doubt you hear, its true song guides you true." So I listen closer now, accept its fearful plea, It's just a human heart, that's part of bein' me. [Chorus] Oh, listen to your heart... Maktub... leads me back to you... Oh, listen to your heart... Maktub... leads me back to you... [Bridge] An encounter with the source, with God and endless time... My heart grows quiet, understands, this sacred, upward climb. [Chorus] Oh, listen to your heart... Maktub... leads me back to you... Oh, listen to your heart... Maktub... leads me back to you... [Outro] It speaks of treasure waiting... knows its journey's true... Listen to your heart... Maktub... leads me back to you...
