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
