The Alchemist

My mother cried when she opened her eyes

She was born in a fire so she lived in the rain

And I got a sky that was ripped open wide

And it poured like a river

That washed me away

So I light a candle

Carry the flame

Find a little faith when

All that's left to make is

Friends with the girl who's just doing her best

Here's to the alchemist

My broken pieces are my tapestry

Every stitch holds together

The story of me

I fell asleep at the wheel of my life

And it flipped upside down

And I lost everything

So I light a candle

Carry the flame

Find a little faith when

All that's left to make is

Beauty from the mess

When there's nothing left to give

Here's to the alchemist

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

Yeah yeah

Every song, every scar, every line

Every word that I said

Can't take back but I've tried

So I'm writing this story from the other side

I was always the home I was trying to find

Yeah I light a candle

Carry the flame

Find a little faith when

All that's left to make is

Beauty from the mess

No matter what the outcome is

So, here's to the alchemist

Oh oh
