If It's Magic
Stevie Wonder · Love Harmony & Eternity: 50th Anniversary [2010]
like the sun that always shines
like the poets in this rhyme
like the galaxies in time
If its pleasing then why can't it be never leaving
like the day that never fails
like on sea shores there are shells
like the time that always tells
It holds the key to every heart
throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
and quenches every thirst
So
If its special then with it why aren't we as careful
as making sure we dress in style
posing pictures with a smile
keeping danger from a child
It holds the key to every heart
throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
and quenches every thirst
So
If its magic why can't we make it everlasting
like the lifetime of the sun
it will leave no heart undone
for there is enough for everyone
