Magnificent (She Says)

This is where, this is where the bottle lands Where all the biggest questions meet With little feet stood in the sand

This is where the echoes swell 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 her 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 It's all gonna be magnificent, she says It's all gonna be magnificent

The echoes slow, the bottle lands The echoes slow, and there she stands
