Shine your light everyday As I feel the warm breeze of a new day on my face gently whispering to me, my love could bring change to this place remembering the ways, the ancient rules of this game we may go without the praise but it lifts the vibe all the same I know how good it feels to me, when a stranger takes the time to hear see n feel, egos dropping aside somewhere theres a girl. She is shy on the outside, trouble fitting in this world eclipsed moon on the inside her hearts still burning for a sign, she's too afraid to cry, she's not giving much away she could be anyone you never know, with our eyes upon the ground, we are holding back the tide like a stone thrown in the ocean compassion goes on and on and round and round yeah you could be the one x3 yeah make ya wanna shine your light everyday, you could be the one........ imagine the sensation when she see's the light in your eye's your her only soul connection in all the people walking by even though your friendly face, she's never seen before it still ignites a flame, her fire begins to grow as you smile and pass her by, moving on with your day, but the difference that you made, that girl will never be the same you helped her find her faith in human kind, you gave her strength to carry on and one day we might need, similar help from you and me a single drop on this music and grain of sand upon the shore said we've all got the power to choose it, you never know, you never know with our eyes upon the ground we were holding back the tides like a stone thrown in the ocean compassion goes on and on and round and round yeah you could be the one x3 yeah make ya wanna shine your light everyday, you could be the one........ make you wanna take your eyes off the ground and take a look around yeah you never know, you never know theres so much love to be found yeah..... make you wanna look your sisters and your brothers in the eyes yeah you never know, you never know theres so much love to be found yeah..... make ya wanna shine your light everyday, you could be the one........

Magic 08:49
Magic I wake up to the sound of the rain on my roof again It reminds me of the pounding pain, here's my proof again I'm all alone in my world of sorry and blame again No wonder no one wants to come and play me games with me, I see that the more I complain, the worst that I feel, my friends try to explain that these feelings aren't real they seem to me as real as snow on the mountains, real enough my tears flow like a fountain Could I be creating this scene around me, am I the creator of my own destiny I hear a voice saying I have a choice to be who I want to be it says We're magic you know it x3 we're magic and you know it This misty feeling subsides as the veil begins to rise again, I push black mountains aside in this clearing I stan again, I take control of my mind, of space and of time, I'm free cause now that I've realised that no one nothing but me can ever control me all of a sudden I see sun shining down, miracles or life are growing up from the ground even people round me seem more friendly and open, could it be cause this new path that I've chosen I am me creating this scene around me, I am the creator of my own destiny, I hear a voice saying I have a choice to be who I want to be it says We're magic you know it x3 we're magic and you know it
