is merely talent. :snooty:

case in point:

The Magic Lamp

I have come from distant pathways
From Magical caves in jungles
I have crossed several rivers
I have seen this new world for you
What kind of dangers I took on
I polished the pearl of love
Only after that did I get to you

You,
are for me,
a Magic Lamp
I am looking for you in every direction
Atleast tell me this
Are you water, or
are you fire?
where are you lost!

If you are water, then you are really sweet water
If you are fire, then you are really sweet fire
Whenever I was lost in darkness
You are a lamp lighting rhythm
I look at your face during my glances at the moon
You are the scent that is hidden in flower-buds
I am night’s forgotten traveller
You are the guiding firefly

Magic Lamp, Magic Lamp,
You are perfume, you are firefly

I have come, and I have to go far too,
I definitely have to get this magic lamp
Magic Lamp, you are my destiny
Magic Lamp, you are my heart
You are magic, perfume, and firefly everywhere
For you I have come this far,
I will make you mine,
and only go back with you

Magic Lamp, Magic Lamp

in case you’re thinking this gem couldnt possibly be mine, think again. You underestimate my talent :snooty:

Reminds me of U2’s: I have climbed the highest mountains, I have run through the fields, Only to be with you… ooonly to be with you.

I believe Aladdin may have stolen your magic lamp. I reckon you go find him, he shows up on the disney channel every now and then.

p.s. The difference is talent indeed. :nono3:

it is a little sing songy, yes.

infact, now that i think abt it, Awaz may have sung a song along these lines, and subconsciously, I might have been influenced by it. Might be an omaage (sp) of some sort.
