Santiago was inspired by Paulo Coelho's book The Alchemist.
Lyrics
SANTIAGO
(c) 2008 David Schmoll
The marketplace falls silent as the stones fall to the ground
The King of Salem passes by and I can hear the sound
Of an long forgotten language that has no words
It's the language of the Soul of the World
I understand these whispers, though I don't know why or how
But I know life is this moment we are living right now
Just like Santiago I will cross the desert under skies of blue
Just like Santiago I will follow the stars till they lead me to you
The merchant dreams of Mecca, the Englishman dreams of melting ore
And the girl at the oasis dreams of the boy she's waiting for
The desert feeds the falcon, and the falcon feeds the man
And the man returns to the desert and the cycle starts again
The chain remains unbroken, no beginning and no end
And just like Santiago I feel kisses on the wind
Just like Santiago I will cross the desert under skies of blue
Just like Santiago I will follow the stars till they lead me to you
All the world's stories were written by one hand
All the music that lives in my heart is played by heaven's band
And heaven's choir is singing:
Just like Santiago I will cross the desert under skies of blue
Just like Santiago I will follow the stars till they lead me to you
Just like Santiago
Just like Santiago
Just like Santiago
Just like Santiago
