Inspired by Paul Coehlo’s The Alchemist, and written with Madelynne Jones

When I was young I wanted all that I have now

When I was you I knew this truth,

That I’d get here somehow

This is better than any place I’ve been before

Is there a need for brighter shores?

What’s wrong with a house upon a hill

What’s wrong with a nice glass of tea to chill

When you’ve got all you need

There’s no need for better things

Is half a dream still a dream?  

A silver lining’s still a hope within the clouds

I’m happy in my tower no need to come back down

A silver lining’s still a hope within the clouds

I’m happy in my tower no need to come back down

What’s wrong with a house upon a hill

What’s wrong with a nice glass of tea to chill

When you’ve got all you need

There’s no need for better things

Is half a dream still a dream?  

I know there could be more but is it greedy to think

That what I have’s not enough

For a fine merchant like me

Is half a dream still a dream

Even if it’s not my destiny?
