The Magi (The Heart Of Man’s A Palace) Peter, Paul and Mary

(Yarrow/Henry)

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

[Chorus:]
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

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
