Verse
=====
And it was morning
And I found myself mourning,
For a childhood that I thought had disappeared
I looked out the window
And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had gone
I'm not alone, I turned to the mirror

I saw you, the child, that once loved
The child before they broke his heart
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost

Verse (as before)
=====
Hey you, surprised? More than surprised
To find the answers to the questions
Were always in your own eyes

Do you realise that you give it on back to her?
But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew
So untrue
For she's got to carry on with her life
And you've got to carry on with yours

Chorus (as before w/extra parts)
======
So I see it's me, I can do anything
And I'm still the child

Verse (as before)
=====
Hey you, you've survived. Now you've arrived
To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie
Now you realise, that you've got to get out of here
You've found the leading light of destiny, burning in the ashes of your memory
You want to change the world
You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel
But that was looking backward
Now you've found the light

Chorus (as before)
======
You, the child that once loved
The child before they broke his heart
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost
