Hayes Carll - The Magic Kid lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] Pick a card, any card Don't show it to me
