I Believe in Magic
Do you believe in magic?
Is there really such a thing?
Perhaps it’s all pretend,
Like a puppet on a string.
I’ve thought about this long and hard,
But a decision I’ve now made.
I believe there’s magic all around.
It was never meant to fade.
I believe there’s magic in a hug or kind words from a friend.
When we pass along good feelings, there’s no beginning and no end.
I believe there’s magic in the rainbow,
In the colors of the sky.
Magic on a clear, dark night with stars that shoot on by.
Magic in the fluffy snow that settles on the trees.
Magic in the ease I feel from a warming summer breeze.
Magic in a moving song, movie, show or book.
I do believe it’s everywhere, if we just remember to look.
To look to nature; look inside.
Look to our neighbor; look far and wide.
I feel the magic all around, in what we see and do.
In what we say and what we feel - the magic of me and you.
Is there really such a thing?
Perhaps it’s all pretend,
Like a puppet on a string.
I’ve thought about this long and hard,
But a decision I’ve now made.
I believe there’s magic all around.
It was never meant to fade.
I believe there’s magic in a hug or kind words from a friend.
When we pass along good feelings, there’s no beginning and no end.
I believe there’s magic in the rainbow,
In the colors of the sky.
Magic on a clear, dark night with stars that shoot on by.
Magic in the fluffy snow that settles on the trees.
Magic in the ease I feel from a warming summer breeze.
Magic in a moving song, movie, show or book.
I do believe it’s everywhere, if we just remember to look.
To look to nature; look inside.
Look to our neighbor; look far and wide.
I feel the magic all around, in what we see and do.
In what we say and what we feel - the magic of me and you.
