Key: Ab major•
Verse 1
Ab
Db
I find myself realizing as I get older
Ab
Db
just how lucky I've been in my life.
to do what I do,
place.
But to take that talent
and have it pop up
in the right family,
in the right country,
in the right era
for that talent to flourish,
that's all just luck.
That's pretty amazing.
And the luckiest part of it to me
is that I wanted to do
this since I was three
to me
got to make magic.
They got to really be alchemists.
They got to turn lead
into gold every night.
They got to stand up there
and take everybody's hopes and dreams
and fears and disappointments.
Just pull them right out of the air
and turn them into something
that you can see,
that you can hear,
that you can read.
And that's alchemy to me,
that's being a magician,
that's the best part
of the job.
The way I figure it,
if we are doing our jobs right,
Db
Ab
are a little strange right now.
You know when times get so hard
that you forget
that you had a dream in the first
place
and we're the
ones who get to step forward
Db
Ab
an d say here are your dreams back,
I've tried to keep them safe
for you.
And for those of us who
get to do that
this is an immense privilege.
So I thank you all for the privilege.
