Magical Child Lyrics | Alanis Morissette

[Verse 1]
It's quite simple when I'm listening
You keep leading me all the way home
These messages you've been offering

[Chorus 1]
As a magical child
An essential child

[Verse 2]
It hinges on the driver's seat
It depends on who's in control
When I waver on the attuning
I kill a magical child

[Chorus 1]
As a magical child
An essential child

[Chorus 2]
To thine own self be true
To my core self be true

[Verse 3]
When direction is confounding
When vitality is far gone
When the spark is out, uninspiring
I call the magical child

[Chorus 1]
As a magical child
An essential child

[Chorus 2]
To thine own self be true
To my core self be true

[Verse 4]
When I'm lost and I'm unraveling
When I'm off my track and I float
When I need true north and some grounding
I call the magical child
The essential child
This angelic child
This innocent child

[Chorus 2]
To thine own self be true
To my core self be true

[Outro]
Angelic child
Innocent child
Magical child
Essential child
