Everyone who loves the movie, "Hocus Pocus," loves this song. The original name is "Garden of Magic," but most people know it as "Come, Little Children." Kristen received many requests to record her own cover of this magical song, and thinking the movie version to be tragically short (only one verse), she added two more verses, a bridge, and a chorus. All additional lyrics and melodies are her own, except the chorus lyrics for which she used the refrain from Yeats' poem, "The Stolen Child." Kristen's arrangement is like a cathedral-sized music box, with pipe organ, celeste, piano, and three voices ... like the Sanderson sisters on stage.

Lyrics

Garden of Magic (Come, Little Children) - Witches and Faeries Version

Come, little children, I’ll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment.
Come, little children, the time’s come to play
Here in my garden of magic.

Dance, little children, around the oak trees,
Summoning roots by thy dashing.
Dance, little children, by rivers and seas,
Slowing the tides by thy splashing.

Chorus:
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you
can understand.

Dream, little children, of starlight and games
Lengthening springtime’s green pathways.
Dream, little children, of make-believe names;
Wish and pretend while thou hast days.

When petals wilt and rose hips droop
And the earth runs faster in its loop,
When silver moonlight beams match hair,
Of witches and faeries, o children, beware!

Chorus:
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you
can understand.
