You came upon your travels quite by accident and maybe When your world came unraveled you were shocked at what you saw All the people and places, all the paths along your journey, They were nothing in the face of that big miracle you sought
And you can always go back home, But it'll never be the same again You can say those magic words, But they're only words in the end It's your heart and your brain and your courage that have changed And the magic's only pretend
Every place you go there will be danger and adventure And everybody knows their way around except for you When you think that you have made it, they'll send you back into battle, But you mustn't be afraid, just do the job you have to do
And you can always go back home, But it'll never be the same again You can say those magic words But they're only words in the end. It's your heart and your brain and your courage that have changed And the magic's only pretend.
On your way, learning comes in the times that you never planned on stopping For a song, for a friend, for a sleep in a field of pretty poppies
Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain There's an obvious attraction, but it isn't meant to be If she makes the magic happen, it is only to impress you And to keep you far away from what reality might be
And you can always go back home, But it'll never be the same again You can say those magic words But they're only words in the end It's your heart and your brain and your courage that have changed And the magic comes from within.
