Wizard

''“Apples, honey, toadstools and witch hazel mixed with spider eggs and eye of newt. Abraca! a swish of my wand! Uh-oh, wrong spell! I think i just made soup!''

I hope someday i can fly (But i’m scared of heights)

Ride off on a broom and fly (Like that other famous wizard guy)

To summon the storms (Such angry clouds)

Then make them disappear - Poof!

The sky is clear now - let’s go fly!

The life of a Wizard is not child's play.

…

Books and bats and clever kitty cats,

Studying for the finals at the academy of magic…

''Abraca! Careful with that wand!''

One wrong swish and you’ve got newt soup!

If the land that i love (Aluria, oh Aluria)

Should fall to the darkness (Oh no Aluria!)

I shall wave my wand and cast a spell

To light the way once more!

(Even if it is just the flicker of a candle...)

''I’m a master Wizard. But i've got a lot to learn.''

One day I'll ride a rainbow (Fly through the sky!)

One day I'll part the ocean blue (Split it right in two!)

One day I’ll learn every spell (5000 spells!)

Spirits of earth, fire, wind and water!

One day I’ll get it right (Magic soup anyone?)

One day I’ll be a great Wizard!”
