It's no surprise to me
I crave the magic of this world
It's written deep inside of me
Carved by hands I've never known
Like islands in my sea of wonder
Stars whose flames I've never held
Put passion in the stream of life
and wrought the steel within my bones
Like paths that weave the road unventured
The kiss of winds not meant for me
With lips unbound sang tales of splendor
and wrote the song that's in my soul
Like valleys cleaving earth undying
Ocean's depths beyond repose
Stretched self and left all semblance sundered
taught me how far forever goes
So it's no surprise to me
I crave these things I've never known
It's written deep inside of me
Carved by the magic of this world.

It's no surprise to me
I crave the magic of this world
It's written deep inside of me
Carved by hands I've never known
Like islands in my sea of wonder
Stars whose flames I've never held
Put passion in the stream of life
and wrought the steel within my bones
Like paths that weave the road unventured
The kiss of winds not meant for me
With lips unbound sang tales of splendor
and wrote the song that's in my soul
Like valleys cleaving earth undying
Ocean's depths beyond repose
Stretched self and left all semblance sundered
taught me how far forever goes
So it's no surprise to me
I crave these things I've never known
It's written deep inside of me
Carved by the magic of this world.
