Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You didn't know me when I was young
I was a happy kid
I wouldn't say I was beautiful
I tried to be
That was my hope, I guess
Must've been all those movies in that romantic period
[PreChorus]
You gotta make magic, magic out of tragic
We are the sunshine that defines the moon
It takes a long time for the stars to get here
Don't wanna miss it in your dressing room
[PreChorus]
You gotta make lightning, lightning out of thunder
Without plundering your God-given gifts
If you wanna make magic, magic out of tragic
I have a hankering, hankering to do this
[Chorus]
So when they tell you, tell you that you're able
Yeah, when they tell you, tell you that you can
Still you gotta make magic, or you shouldn't even be here
Wasting the precious, precious time at hand
[PreChorus]
You gotta make roses, roses out of bushes
Keeping the thorns to then protect yourself
But at the same time act as if it's nothing
As you obliterate everybody else
[Chorus]
So when they tell you, tell you that you're able
Yeah, when they tell you, tell you that you can
Still you gotta make magic, or you might as well be somewhere else
Folding up napkins or stacking up shelves
[Bridge]
What is this feeling that is haunting me at all times
And takes control when the light hits my face?
I don't know why I have to conquer all of mankind
Is it to make the world a better place?
Or am I simply cast under a spell?
The harvest moon, the misty valley's wishing well
My mother warned me about Broadway's light
But now I'm here and I have never, ever felt so right
[Bridge]
Yeah, you gotta do it
Yeah, you gotta do it
[PreChorus]
You gotta make magic, magic out of tragic
We are the sunshine that defines the moon
It takes a long time for the stars to get here
Don't wanna miss it in your dressing room
[Chorus]
So when they tell you, tell you that you're able
Yeah, when they tell you, tell you that you can
Still you gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta make magic
Or you shouldn't even be here
Wasting the precious
Wasting the precious
Wasting the precious
Precious time at hand
Precious time at hand
Precious time at hand
