[Intro]
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic
[Verse 1]
One dream, one soul
One prize, one goal
One golden glance of what should be
(It's a kind of magic)
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
(It's a kind of magic)
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
(It's a kind of magic)
[Pre-Chorus]
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Is this a kind of magic?
(It's a kind of magic)
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done
[Verse 2]
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
(It's a kind of magic)
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
(It's a kind of magic)
(It's a kind of magic)
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be, will soon be
Will soon be done!
This is (this is) a kind (a kind)
Of magic (yeah)
There can be only one, one, one, one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done (done!)
[Bridge]
(Magic), it's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic, magic, magic, magic!
(Magic), ha-ha-ha-ha, it's magic
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Ha-ha
Yeah, yeah
Whoo
It's a kind of magic!
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic
[Verse 1]
One dream, one soul
One prize, one goal
One golden glance of what should be
(It's a kind of magic)
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
(It's a kind of magic)
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
(It's a kind of magic)
[Pre-Chorus]
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Is this a kind of magic?
(It's a kind of magic)
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done
[Verse 2]
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
(It's a kind of magic)
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
(It's a kind of magic)
(It's a kind of magic)
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be, will soon be
Will soon be done!
This is (this is) a kind (a kind)
Of magic (yeah)
There can be only one, one, one, one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done (done!)
