Make it Happen



I was taught I was not
To let daylight in on magic
And I thought so too but
This turned out to be a tragic
Waste of my reason then
Not to be myself but to be
Untrue to what I knew
That where I let the daylight in
Was nothing there to see

The magic closet of the past
Turned out to be empty
My season of unreason passed
Into the light of day
The only magic was in me
To find in my own way

Alone to find my own way through
My mind was free at last
So I forgot what I was taught
But I remembered who
The magic was because I got
A clue of what to do
As the one to make it happen
If it ever was to

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
