Where the Magic is Real

Through all of my life, I've had one lasting wish I want to see magic up close I've read all the stories, I've played all the games But I wave my hands and no energy flows You can be Lancelot, you can be Aragorn Me, I'll take Gandalf and Merlin, too 'Cause I want to do impossible things But this world won't let my dreams come true Chorus Take me… to where the magic is real All I want is a world where natural laws Can be bent by a wizard's will Is it too much to ask for a big book of spells And a place they can be fulfilled? Take me… to where the magic is real Now some folks have said, if you look hard enough There are small magics that you can find But while I couldn't live without music and love That's not quite what I had in mind And some magic's inside of computers That's why I make my living there But computers can't yet make real things Out of nothing but thin air Chorus Bridge Imagine the possibilities When you're wearing the pointy hat You could mend broken bones, walk through walls Talk with your dog and cat See anywhere and then teleport there Have a chat with your late Uncle Paul Make rain go away when you need a nice day And the very best part of all… You could fly… You could fly… just you and the sky Fly… Oh I'll forge ahead, there's good things in life I'll fly not in clouds but in dreams And my latest computer manual Is plenty arcane, it seems But if I disappear, don't worry for me After all it's understood I might have gotten lucky And found someone who could… Chorus
