» Magic Words

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.
