  • Pick a card, any card
    Don't show it to me
    Abracadabra
    I've got nothing up my sleeve
    And I may get it wrong or get it right
    But either way I'm standing in the light
    Where nothing is hid
    I'm the magic kid

    That's my kids with the cards
    He's nine years old
    With a head full of wonder
    And a heart of gold
    And there's not a trick that he can't figure out
    And he's never stopped the show for fear of doubt
    Like the rest of us did
    He's the magic kid

    And who we are is who we are
    Why is that so hard to be
    When I watch him shine his star
    It's so magical to me

    And who we are is who we are
    Why is that so hard to be
    When I watch you shine your star
    It's so magical to me

    This world can be so full of darkness
    In blown out flames
    Dreams for pecking orders
    In school yard games
    But you shine your light for everyone to see
    The only one I've known who's truly free
    Yeah, he's a star but you will always be
    You're the magic kid

    Pick a card, any card
    Don't show it to me Publisher: ME GUSTA MUSIC
