about

I grew up next to the Liesbeek River when there was open space from home to the mountain above us. We played as kids today never get the chance to play. And who hasn't had a friend nobody ever saw who was always there to talk to.

lyrics

MAGIC BOY – GROWING YOUNG

Growing young .. growing wild
Measuring time on the waving grasses
In the world of a child
Time is a thing that gently passes
Living with the wind
Holding hands with the rivers daughter
Growing oh so wild then
Learning things I shouldn't oughta know

Chasing sun on the beach
Feeling the sand up between my ten toes
Walking tall in the rain
Feeling the drops sliding down my backbone
Oh to be a child then
Child in slow motion
Growing oh so wild then
Gathering not such childish notions

Whenever I was lonely .. whenever I was sad
I would talk to my friend .. best friend I ever had
He would blow the clouds away
The trees would dance for joy
What did it matter no one else could see him
He would always be my
Yupedee-ido yupedee-ido yupedee-ido .. Magic Boy
Yupedee-ido yupedee-ido yupedee-ido .. Magic Boy

Trickle of time goes by my window pane
In the sun in the rain

Growing young .. growing old
Now the sun is a little lower
Walking tall in the rain
Maybe my step is a wee bit slower
Freer now than ever
Child in slow motion
Knowing what I know now
Savouring all those childish notions
Yupedee-ido yupedee-ido yupedee-ido .. Magic Boy
Yupedee-ido yupedee-ido yupedee-ido .. Magic Boy
