Lyrics and translation
Original
If it's magic, then why can't it be everlasting?
Like the sun that always shines.
Like the poets in this rhyme.
Like the galaxies in time.
If it's pleasing, then why can't it be never leaving?
Like the day that never fails.
Like on seashores, there are shells.
Like the time that always tells.
It holds the key to every heart throughout the universe.
It fills you up without a bite and quenches every thirst, so. . .
If it's special, then with it why aren't we as careful?
Making sure we dress in style.
Posing pictures with a smile.
Keeping danger from a child.
It holds the key to every heart throughout the universe.
It fills you up without a bite and quenches every thirst, so. . .
If it's magic, why can't we make it everlasting?
Like a lifetime of the sun, it will leave no heart undone.
For there's enough for everyone.
