Seals & Crofts Lyrics
"Change The Copper Into Gold"

Change the copper into gold
Make me what I am not now
There is a secret, I should know
I'd find it but I don't know how

Well I got so much inside
I give it till there's nothing left
And the evil one must die
So I can see it through your eyes

I long to see the snow white falcon as it takes its flight
Far beyond the mountains of love
Watch the smiths in the village of a thousand dreams untold
Change the copper into gold

Change the copper into gold
Abide forever here inside of me
Teach me all that I should know
Release the powers of alchemy

Fire and water cannot dwell
Eternally within this mortal shell
I see the falcon far away
It's calling me to come and fly away

I long to cross the valley of ether, hear the songs they sing
See the master's work unfold
Watch the smiths in the village of a thousand dreams untold
Change the copper into gold
