[Verse 1: Cécile McLorin Salvant]
If it's magic
Then why can't it be everlasting
Like the sun that always shines
Like the poet's endless rhyme
Like the galaxies in time

[Verse 2: Cécile McLorin Salvant]
If it's pleasing
Then why can't it be never leaving
Like the day that never fails
Like on seashores there are shells
Like the time that always tells

[Bridge: Cécile McLorin Salvant]
It holds the key to every hеart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bitе
And quenches every thirst
So...

[Verse 3: Cécile McLorin Salvant]
If it's 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
[Bridge: Cécile McLorin Salvant]
It holds the key to every heart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst
So...

[Verse 4: Cécile McLorin Salvant]
If it's magic
Why can't we make it everlasting
Like the lifetime of the sun
It will leave no heart undone
For there's enough for everyone
