ALCHEMY

ALCHEMY

You don’t believe in magic, well do you
And think all that fantastic fakery is true

A special insight to cards that one picks
Suspended logic, yet they are but tricks

With a beautiful assistant there’s a bond
Who disappears when you wave a wand

You see it was there, and now it’s gone
Yet certainly leaves much to think upon

An audience might gasp with admiration
When acknowledging the prestidigitation 

The routine of pulling rabbits from a hat
And wonder just how could they do that

I tell you nothing that you will see is real
They’re just entertainers, what’s the deal

And it’s love when our two hearts engage
More than some act performed on stage

But with us it’s something special I know
This is magic and has nowhere else to go
