Magic and Heroes

Tiny creatures fly and play
Amid the canopies
And royal giants battle
In the darkest of the seas
Usually you grow up
And you're told you shouldn't care
But all the magic that you dreamt of
Was already there

I believe in fairies
But you call them fireflies
I believe in magic
Every time I close my eyes

I believe in books
Because it's paper filled with dreams
You believe in logic
But it isn't what it seems

Oh darling
All around you
Look so closely
Now we've found you
You're growing older but
You can still see
The angels in the sky

I believe in heroes
Cos that's what I'd like to be
I doubt you see a hero
Every time you look at me

But I don't need your recognition
I don't need a sign
I've got some folks who love me
And I know my body's mine

I believe in fairies
But you call them fireflies
I believe in magic
Every time I close my eyes

I believe in books
Because it's paper filled with dreams
You believe in logic
But it isn't what it seems

I loved a boy and all I did was try
To find the reasons why
There are some things
I would never see the end of
So guess what
I just let it go

Tiny people walk and work
And wonder if they're free
Freedom's like a patch of grass
Beneath my favorite tree
And usually you grow up
And you're told you shouldn't care
But darling all you ever wanted
Was already there
