lyrics

When we speak of magic
what really do we mean?
Are we seeing something
that reason can't believe?
Are we feeling something
that we cannot conceive?
When you know what you don't know
it's magic.

When you think of magic
think of what exists.
The flowing of the wand.
The flicking of the wrist.
The beating of the heart.
The miracle of this.
Even when you know the trick
it's magic.

Take my hand. I'll take your hand.
We'll travel through this land
a part of something greater
than we'll ever understand.

Not of the earth, nor in the sky,
nor in the daily grind,
there is a there out somewhere
someplace somewhere deep inside.

It's magic.
