True Magic

Magic we see is nothing but illusion
Where illusionists fill our minds with confusion
Magicians actually trick your mind
God knows what fun in these tricks people find
It is just some nonsense hocus-pocus;
Where magicians divert our focus
To weird spells which have no use
And are just meant to amuse

True magic does not mean vanishing a card into thin air,
Or pulling a coin from behind someone’s ear.
It’s certainly not taking out a bunny out of a hat
How ridiculous is something like that!
If you really want to find out 
What real magic is about,
Just know that it is not some trick of a card,
True magic is in your heart

When you accept this
And lift yourself from folly’s abyss
You will realize that magic is not what magicians do
True magic is within you.
