It's quite simple when I'm listening
you keep leading me all the way home
these messages you've been offering 
as a magical child
an essential child

when it hinges on the driver seat
it depends on who's in control
when I waver on the attuning
I kill a magical child
this essential child
oh

to thine own self be [bad word] to my core self be [bad word] 
when direction is confounding
when vitality is far gone

when the spark is out, uninspiring
I call the magical child
the essential child
oh

to thine own self be [bad word] to my core self be [bad word] 
when I'm lost and I'm unraveling
when I'm off my track
and I float
when I need [bad word] north
and some grounding
I call the magical child
the essential child
this angelic child
this innocent child

to thine own self be [bad word] to my core self be [bad word] 
angelic child
magical child
essential child
