Magic Is a Child
Nektar Lyrics

At the time I was a little boy
During the period of my childhood

All my senses were in bloom
I was in tune with my senses and experiencing new things

The forests were adventure
I found adventure and excitement in the forests

There dwelt the legends of my mind
The legends and stories that I imagined existed in those forests

I was the keeper of the golden key
I had the power and control to unlock and create new things

I made all the rules
I was able to create my own reality and control how things worked

I only had to dream
My imagination was the only requirement to create something new

To create the scene
To bring my imagination to life and visualize it

Magic is a child
The magical experience of childhood

Imagination is alive
My imagination was active and thriving

A child is alive
I was filled with life and energy, experiencing new things

How the trees were so high
I was amazed by the height of the trees

The cheese in the sky
I imagined unlikely things, like cheese floating in the sky

Were part of my imagination
These were made up things that existed only in my mind

I was goblins and elves
I imagined myself as mythical creatures

With small mushroom shelves
I pictured tiny worlds and environments

As brothers Grimm would tell their stories
I imagined things like the fairy tales told by the Brothers Grimm

Opening my eyes in the morning I would see
I woke up to a world full of possibilities

Patterns in the trees making shapes that were a face to me
I saw faces and shapes in the patterns of the trees around me

In those tireless times
Back when I had endless energy and was always active

And those carefree lines
When I didn't have any worries or responsibilities

That we draw ourselves
We were able to create our own lives and experiences

But they're never kept
We can't hold onto those times forever

Alive as a child's imagination
The magic of childhood is something that stays with us and never dies
