This is where the bottle lands
Where all the biggest questions meet
With little feet stood in the sand
This is where
The echoes slow 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
A world that doesn’t even know
How much it needs this little girl

It’s all gonna be magnifi cent
She says
It’s all gonna be magnifi cent

This is where it all began
To light your mother’s cigarette
Meant I got to touch her hand
And my heart there defrosting in her gaze
Wasn’t built to beat that way
Suddenly I understand
There on the sand
Throwing both her arms around the world
A 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

The echoes slow
The bottle lands
The echoes slow
There she stands
