Neodymium

I am drawn to you, when I think of how With your electric charge, you get me charged up You use my favorite gems, and you make every point You’re focus must be why I must come to you And now you know how so I was sent to and the glass blowers with you on their eyes They loaned me their specs, and through the green-grey specs I did a double-take — leaving me to see ‘Cause on those glasses, you worked in pairs there ‘Cause to the Greeks that’s where together’s   And all of this time but now you’ve proven

you pull on me so, you’re so magnetic. my motor’s going, thinking it’s a game... Garnet and crystals, seem laser clear. I’m so drawn to you until you’re near. I love my glassware, a glass blowing lathe, were making glassware so they could see. I put them on — the flame was gone. there was no glare — just molten glass. you weren’t alone —                     so we could see. you are a new twin, how you fit in...   I was drawn to you you can help me see.
