about

Written by my on June 7, 1988. This was a fun song, and we played it quite a bit back in the day. The magic of individuality- the opposite take of Shine on You Crazy Diamond, perhaps. It's about joy and freedom and adoration.

lyrics

Glitter like gold in new found dreams
Like a prism in a beam of light
Sparkle like the rain in summer streams
Like the stars in the middle of night
Steady as the rock upon Gibralter
Ever present beauty all around
Faster than the step without a falter
Walking on the air instead of ground

Shine on you the magic ones
Steely-eyed safety in the back of your mind
The magic ones, shine on you
A never-known presence until the end of time
The magic ones

Silent as the Sun in the deep of space
Like a super-nova gone wild
Gentle as the smile upon your face
And the touch of a child
Treasured like the love inside my heart
Unconditional and unadorned
Freedom like the sky right from the start
Freedom, freedom...
