This is where
This is where
the bottle lands
Where all the biggest
questions meet
With little feet
stood in the sand
And this is where
the echo swells
to nothing on the tide
And where a tiny
pair of hands
Finds a sea-worn
piece of glass
and sets it as
a sapphire in her mind
And there she stands
Throwing both her arms
around the world
The world that doesn't
even know how much
it needs this little girl
it's all gonna be
magnificent she says
It's all gonna be
magnificent
This is where
it all began
To light your
mother's cigarette
And I got to
touch your hand
And my heart
there defrosting
in a gaze
Wasn't built
to be that way
suddenly I understand
There on the sand
Throwing both her arms
around the world
The world that doesn't
even know how much
it needs this little girl
it's all gonna be
magnificent she says
It's all gonna be
magnificent
she says
it's all gonna
be magnificent
She says
it's all gonna
be magnificent
The echo slows
The bottle lands
The echo slows
And there she stands
