Believe In Magic
A good part of magic
Is in the believing
And the magic of believing
Is in itself quite magical as well
Believing there is no magic…
No wondrous illusion
Well, I believe, without any delusion
That that… would be tragic as hell

I believe in an America with a government of men devoted solely to the public interests — men of ability and dedication, free from conflict or corruption or other commitment — a responsible government that is efficient and economical, with a balanced budget over the years of the cycle, reducing its debt in prosperous times — a government willing to entrust the people with the facts that they have — not a businessman's government, with business in the saddle … not a labor government, not a farmer's government, not a government of one section of the country or another, but a government of, for and by the people.

Insulting
I can not believe,
The magic of your artistry.
Your ability to capture vivid images...
Is something I have never seen.
And the depth and scope,
Of your comprehension of the craft...
Should not be kept to yourself.
You have an audience out there,
Unprepared to be enthralled within your grasp.
YOU are a 'genius'.
'Why don't you come out and say it?
What you see is a bunch of crap.
You think I am 'that' sensitive?
And you use reverse psychology,
Believing any insulting comments...
Will hurt and shatter me in disbelief?
Tell me what you 'really' think.'
Okay.
I will.
I can not believe,
The magic of your artistry.
Your ability to capture vivid images...
Is something I have never seen.
Now...
If you want me to say that,
In a more insulting way...
I'll do my best.
Because I 'know' I am blessed with talents as well.
Do you want me to give it another try?

Keep On Believing
I woke up in the quiet dark
Fed the cat and hit the park
Cutest chicest chocolate queen
Look and smiled right at me
Keep on believing, keep on believing
Keep on believing, keep on believing
She said "hi" without no sound
Made my head go Iight and 'round
She was dressed to kill tne pope
Ard what she did she gave me hope
I smiled back without no sound
I said "hi" and left the ground
Keep on believing, keep on believing, keep on believing
Life won't leave me alone
Trouble won't leave rne alone
Strenght don't leave me alone
Truth don't leave me alone
She looked so bright in pixie hair
She made me know how much I cared
Her brown eyes gave me butterflies
Sho towed my soul up to the sky
Keep on believing, keep on believing
Keep on believing, keep on believing

No government is here forever. And there are other forces - the most potent force in our society, in fact, big business - doing good for the environment.

Remarkable
Have you ever had a taste of cake,
So remarkable...
As to not leave a crumb on the plate?
And have you ever eaten chips,
Believing quitting would be...
Just unstoppable to do it?
Have you ever kissed lips...
To find them irresistible,
To leave unkissed?
And then you wish just a little bit,
To get down...
To that 'business'!
Have you ever had a taste of cake,
So remarkable?
And have you ever eaten chips,
Believing quitting would be...
Just unstoppable?
And then with a licking of lips,
You get down...
To that business.
With no rushing of it!
That business.
Thinking it a gift.
That business!
And then with a licking of lips,
You get down...
To that business.
Unstoppable.
That business!
Remarkable.
That business!

I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government's business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me.

Government ""help"" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.
It is just as important that business keep out of government as that government keep out of business.

The present government is very insistent that business sponsorship should replace government sponsorship of the arts. Business sponsorship won't happen unless you make tax concessions, which they won't.

I Know That Its Magic
Im amazed at things you, you do it all with ease
I smile while everything you do, drives me to my knees
cos I know that its magic, and I know that its magic
Yes, I know that its magic, in everything you try to do
Many times I see ahead, Ill have to make a stand
Maybe I can call on you, I know youd understand
cos I know that its magic, and I know that its magic
Yes, I know that its magic, in everything you try to do
cos I know that its magic, and I know that its magic
Yes, I know that its magic, in everything you try to do
cos I know that its magic, and I know that its magic
Yes, I know that its magic, and I know that its magic

Power Of Magic
Improve your life
By creating perspective
New and fresh-
Jump at the chance
Of investing your time
Creating answers-
And know that
The fuel of motivation
Comes from a genorous soul-
So turn your thoughts
To the beautiful symphony
And sing a meaningful song-
And know that
When the rhythm of life rocks
Fill your life with hope-
Just listen to the whisper
of your heart
And believe in the power of magic-
For there is no magic
More powerful than
Than magic of believing in yourself-

Magic
Theres a light in the sky that hangs on the edge of illusion
Something very fine but its something you know is there
Mystery of time hidden by a man of confusion
But the hand is quicker than the eye
Only the stranger knows why
cos its magic
You know its magic that youll find
You see its magic
I know who you are and theres magic in you
Keep your eye on the man
And dont look away for a moment
How is it done how does he make me see
Something up his sleeve when speaks you want to believe him
But the hand is quicker than the eye
Only the stranger knows why
cos its magic
Can you see its magic that youll find
You know its magic
I know who you are and theres magic in you
Driven by a force
Moving in another dimension
Here for today, gone for eternity
Seeking for truth hidden by the word of his wisdom
But the hand is quicker than the eye
Only the stranger knows why
Cant you feel its magic
You know its magic that youll find
I said its magic
I know who you are and theres magic in you

Strange Magic
Youre sailing softly through the sun
In a broken stone age dawn.
You fly so high.
I get a strange magic,
Oh, what a strange magic,
Oh, its a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.
Youre walking meadows in my mind,
Making waves across my time,
Oh no, oh no.
I get a strange magic,
Oh, what a strange magic,
Oh, its a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.
Oh, Im never gonna be the same again,
Now Ive seen the way its got to end,
Sweet dream, sweet dream.
Strange magic,
Oh, what a strange magic,
Oh, its a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.
Its magic, its magic, its magic.
Strange magic,
Oh, what a strange magic,
Oh, its a strange magic.
Got a strange magic.
Strange magic strange magic
Oh, what a strange magic strange magic
Oh, its a strange magic.
Got a strange magic.
Strange magic strange magic
Oh, what a strange magic strange magic
Oh, its a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic,
You know I got a strange magic,
Yeah, I got a strange magic,
Oo-o-o-oo, strange magic. (fade)

Ambition's Trail
If all the end of this continuous striving
Were simply to attain,
How poor would seem the planning and contriving
The endless urging and the hurried driving
Of body, heart and brain!
But ever in the wake of true achieving,
There shine this glowing trail –
Some other soul will be spurred on, conceiving,
New strength and hope, in its own power believing,
Because thou didst not fail.
Not thine alone the glory, nor the sorrow,
If thou doth miss the goal,
Undreamed of lives in many a far to-morrow
From thee their weakness or their force shall borrow –
On, on, ambitious soul.

Soon After We Did It
You took your magic away.
So how can I stay,
Believing in you?
When our lips first touched and kissed.
A kiss that I missed...
Soon after we did it.
And we drifted apart.
To place distant calls in harmony.
You took your magic away.
So how can I stay,
Believing in you?
Whenever I would appear,
You acted as if...
A nightmare came to visit.
With a shock that stopped you quick.
And when I came too close you moved.
To let me know your space,
Was used.
And not to share.
You took your magic away.
So how can I stay,
Believing in you?
Whenever I would appear,
You acted as if...
A nightmare came to visit.
With a shock that stopped you quick.
When our lips first touched and kissed.
A kiss that I missed...
Soon after we did it.
You left!
Did you expect me too..
To leave?
