Sixteen and the queen of high-school-land,
I couldnt understand how she could be so pretty.
And shes always better than my very best.
And for the rest they wish they were that lucky.
And Id do what was cool just to make her laugh,
And on her behalf I think shes close to perfect.
And all the while with a smile she made it through,
That had to be hard to do and youve got my respect.
And I want you to know…
Youre the water in the desert,
Youre the island in the sea.
Youre the flower in the snow,
That grows strong and free.
Youre the power of the moonlight, knowing silently.
And youre all the magic thats been missing in me.
Its been missing…in me.
She pushed away everyday just a little bit more,
No she wasnt like before when she was always laughing.
And she was scared and she cared what people would think,
So she started to sink out of the light she was in.
But I want you to know…
Youre the water in the desert,
Youre the island in the sea.
Youre the flower in the snow,
That grows strong and free.
Youre the power of the moonlight,
Knowing silently,
And youre all the magic thats been missing in me.
You turned your life around,
When everybody thought it was over.
And you shined through the night.
You made me realize,
Even when it looks like its over,
It will be alright,
If youre strong enough to fight.
Strong enough to fight.
Youre the water in the desert,
Youre the island in the sea.
Youre the flower in the snow,
That grows strong and free.
Youre the power of the moonlight,
Knowing silently,
And youre all the magic thats been missing in me.
Its been missing…in me.
Yes youre all the magic thats been missing.
