Real Magic

When great forces are on the move in the world
We learn we are spirits, not animals
He said, there's something going on in time and space
And beyond time and space

Which, whether we like it or not, spells duty
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny
We will preserve for our children
This the last best hope of man on earth
Or we will sentence them to take the first step
Into a thousand years of darkness

Sometimes I don't know what to say
It's a genuine miracle I woke up today, so I got up to pray
But my bbm was pinging when my android started singing then
I missed all of the glory for technological luxuries

And just like that I forgot all of the trees
And the flowers and the breeze carryin' seeds across the seas
Extra honey in my tea but pay no to homage to the bee
Whatever happened to us and
Will we ever let the magic come and tap into us?

We preach apocalypse written by john the revelator
But won't even speak to a stranger ridin' on the elevator
Or step to the side when we standin' still on the escalator
The planet earth is a hospital, we on the respirator

I don't regret the haters
Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself
Break through and free yourself
Accept your own and be yourself, it's magic
The story of life is too tragic, it's magic

This is the turn, they ain't ready for prestige yet
The flow is too collegiate, the show is too prestigious
Pretty like a flower, refreshin' like a shower
Depression makes me sour, but it's still a feelin'
My humor harden, all my senses say, it's still appealin'

I could be dead and gone, a brass band
The second line, I could be headed home
The passers by me, shed a tear after she read the stone
It's a luxury

The story of life is not tragic, it's magic
Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself
Break through and free yourself
Accept your own and be yourself, it's magic
The story of life is not tragic, it's a luxury
