Magic

I was born to love no one
No one to love me
Only the wind in the long green grass
The frost in a broken tree
I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many many years ago
I was born to use my eyes
Dream with the Sun and the skies
To float away in a lifelong song
In the mist where melody flies
I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many many years ago
I was born to sail away
Into a land of forever
Not to be tied to an old stone grave
In your land of never
I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many many years ago
