From the original lyric sheet for The Alchemist. Wording may differ slightly from the released recording.
[Verse 1] Miles of sand behind me now, lessons learned in dust Followed omens, chased the signs, rebuilt my broken trust. Heard a whisper on the wind, a promise soft and low Said keep on moving forward, there's a place you gotta go. Through doubt and fear, I lost the way, stumbled in the haze Forgot the compass held within, through all those desert days. [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] The world conspires to help you find, the treasure you pursue It speaks in flight of birds above, in skies of endless blue It shines in crystal clear and bright, reflects your inner light Just gotta tune your spirit in, and make the future bright No need to fear the consequence, the suffering or pain 'Cause every step towards the dream, there's wisdom you will gain [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...
