Like Magic

Anyone here believe in God?
I don't mean that New Age mumbo-jumbo
I mean - like, a real God
Someone you pray to at night
The kind of God who can make it rain
Or make you walk
Or -
Never mind
I know what you're thinking

Miracles? Honestly
We all know they're nothing really
Fairy-tales
Make-believe
Like magic
Sleight of hand
Trickery
Might as well admit it freely
Miracles - laughable
Like magic

All they are is wishful thinking
Simply an illusion
Just a lie we tell to help us through
But if they were real
Think how it would feel
Miracles happening, like magic coming true

Hey
Jake
You a magician?
It's just tricks
Not like what you do
When I was your age, I wanted to be a magician
What happened?
What you want as a kid, what you get as an adult
Tell me about it

If you're gonna try to do magic
You have to keep practicing your sleight of hand
Over and over until you get so good
Until it feels so natural
Even you believe it's real
You did that?
Kid, I was so good
I made myself disappear

Miracles
That's their charm
Everybody thinks they need one
Shining out
Bright and clear like magic

Say the words (go ahead)
Wave your arm (show me)
Ask and you are guaranteed one (how do you do it?)
Just like that
They appear
Like magic

Call it luck, or fate, or fortune
Draw your own conclusion
Maybe it's a sign from you-know-who
Maybe
Once the door's ajar
Look, and there they are
Miracles
Everywhere
Like magic
Just for you
