Magic

[MYRTLE]

You didn't know me when I was young

I was a happy kid

I wouldn't say I was beautiful

I tried to be

That was my hope, I guess

Must have been all those movies in that romantic period

Ya gotta make magic

Magic outta tragic

We are the sunshine that defines the moon

It takes a long time for the stars to get here

Don't want to miss it

In your dressing room

Ya gotta make lightning

Lightning outta thunder

Without plundering your God-given gifts

If you wanna make magic

Magic outta tragic

I've a hankering, hankering to do this

So when they tell you

Tell you that you're able

Yeah, when thеy tell you

Tell you that you can

Still ya gotta make magic

Or you shouldn't еven be here

Wasting the precious

Precious time at hand

Ya gotta make roses

Roses out of bushes

Keeping the thorns to then protect yourself

But at the same time

Act as if it's nothing

As you obliterate everybody else

So when they tell you

Tell you that you're able

Yeah, when they tell you

Tell you that you can

Still ya gotta make magic

Or you might as well be somewhere else

Folding up napkins or stacking up shelves (Ooh)

What is this feeling that's haunting me at all times

And takes control when the light hits my face?

I don't know why I have to conquer all of mankind

Is it to make the world a better place?

Or am I simply cast under a spell?

The harvest moon, the misty valley's wishing well

My mother warned me about Broadway's light

But now I'm here and I have never, ever felt so right

Yeah, ya gotta do it

Yeah, ya gotta do it

Ya gotta make magic

Magic outta tragic

We are the sunshine that defines the moon

It takes a long time for the stars to get here

Don't want to miss it

In your dressing room

So when they tell you

Tell you that you're able

Yeah, when they tell you

Tell you that you can

Still ya gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

Gotta make magic

Or you shouldn't even be here

Wasting the precious

Wasting the precious

Wasting the precious

Precious time at hand

Precious time at hand

Precious time at hand
