Lyrics
Magical Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's quiet simple when i'm listening
You keep leading me all the way home
These messages, you've been offering as a magical child
An essential child
It hinges on the driver's seat
It depends on who's in control
When I'm wavering, on the attuning
I kill a magical child
This essential child
Oh
To thine own self be true
To my core self, be true
When direction is confounding
When vitality is far gone
When the spark is out, uninspiring
I call the magical child
The essential child
Oh
To thine own self be true
To my core self, be true
When I'm lost and I'm unraveling
When I'm off my track
And i float
When I need true north and some grounding
I call the magical child
The essential child
This angelic child
This innocent child
To thine own self be true
To my core self, be true
Angelic child
Magical child
Essential child
