Maybe They're Magic

[BAKER'S WIFE]

If you know

What you want

Then you go

And you find it

And you get it—

[BAKER, spoken]

Home. 

[BAKER'S WIFE, spoken]

Do we want a child or not?

(sung)

—And you give

And you take

And you bid

And you bargain

Or you live to regret it

[BAKER, spoken]

Will you please go home?

[BAKER'S WIFE]

There are rights and wrongs

And in-betweens—

No one waits

When fortune intervenes

And maybe they're really magic

Who knows?

Why you do

What you do

That's the point

All the rest of it

Is chatter

[BAKER, spoken]

Look at her, she's crying. 

[BAKER'S WIFE]

If the thing you do

Is pure in intent

If it's meant

And it's just a little bent

Does it matter?

[BAKER, spoken]

Yes. 

[BAKER'S WIFE]

No, what matters is that

Everyone tells tiny lies—

What's important, really, is the size

[BAKER, spoken]

What?

[BAKER'S WIFE]

Only three more tries

And we'll have our prize

When the end's in sight

You'll realize:

If the end is right

It justifies

The beans!
