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
