Magic (The Simple Things)
Have you ever watched the sunset from a perfect point of view,
Looked up at the stars at night deciding what to do?
How small do you feel when you’re pitted against the world,
And where or how do you go about getting your spirit unfurled?
Can you see beyond the bad that is within this life,
Feel how that balance shifts as sharp as the edge of a knife?
If you believe in miracles taking place within your view,
Then I think you see things as clearly as I do.
