Sixteen and the queen of high-school-land,
I couldn't understand how she could be so pretty
And she's always better than my very best
And for the rest they wish they were that lucky
And I'd do what was cool just to make her laugh,
And on her behalf I think she's close to perfect
And all the while with a smile she made it through,
That had to be hard to do, and you've got my respect
And I want you to know

You're the water in the desert,
You're the island in the sea
You're the flower in the snow,
That grows strong and free
You're the power of the moonlight,
Knowing silently,
And you're all the magic that's been missing in me
It's been missingin me

She pushed away everyday just a little bit more,
No she wasn't 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

You're the water in the desert,
You're the island in the sea
You're the flower in the snow,
That grows strong and free
You're the power of the moonlight,
Knowing silently,
And you're all the magic that's 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 it's over,
It will be alright,
If you're strong enough to fight
Strong enough to fight

You're the water in the desert,
You're the island in the sea
You're the flower in the snow,
That grows strong and free
You're the power of the moonlight,
Knowing silently,
And you're all the magic that's been missing in me
Yes you're all the magic that's been missing
