The Magi Lyrics - Peter, Paul & Mary

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 

And the wise men 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 

For the heart of man's a palace and his dreams are as the sunlight 

They burn away the darkness, as they warm the freezing cold 

As an eagle flying higher, as a river through the canyon 

The diamond star shines down upon, a pathway to the soul 

And the wise men 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 

And the wise men 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 

In a promise that we made that never ends 

In a promise that we made that never ends
