Do we still believe in magic? Somehow I rather doubt it... We've managed to convince ourselves That we can live without it! In these hectic, modern times There's not a moment left to spare For silly things like magic We're sure no one even cares! But I'll tell you a secret Despite our self-reliant fuss? Magic's still alive and well So I guess the joke's on us! And if you're a disbeliever... Just look up at the sky It's there in every rainbow Each newborn baby's cry... There's magic in the snowflakes As they drift down to earth True magic can't be measured By man's idea of worth... But it happens almost everywhere On merry Christmas mornings Like an unexpected summer shower It surrounds you without warning! Look closely at a child's face While he listens to a story... Or notice how you feel inside After you have said, "I'm sorry!" And some folks just won't be convinced They'll continue to refuse That magic's even possible But they're the ones who lose! For those who go from day to day Without it in their lives? Are deserving of our pity... They don't live, they just survive! In a million different ways Real magic is still here Always has been and will be Look with your heart...it's crystal clear! Dusty Richardson c 2001 |
