Believe

The magic of the world is in your heart,
As close as it will ever be.
A simple thought will bring it about
Just as your love for me.
Small child, I wait for you 
Just beyond the horizon,
Over the mountains and into the sea,
Look, the sun's a-risin’.
My child, believe in your heart 
It will not lead your astray.
For now, I bid you farewell,
But for you comes another day.
