Lyrics Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman

A Higher Power

It's magic It's magic the way we got together,

There's magic around us in the air

It's magic It's magic, no not at random

And there must be a higher power somewhere.

I know that magic is an easy word to condemn,

But I've tried other girls and I wasn't made for them,

And I knew it from afar in that lonely rock and roll bar

That there must be a higher power somewhere. Go.

It's magic It's magic the way we got together

It's magic as if it was ordained

It's magic It's magic, no not by chance,

And there must be a higher power I'm saying.

I know that magic is an easy word to abuse

But I've tried other words but what words can I use

And I knew it from that first kiss so stingy and so spare

That there must be a higher power somewhere.

It's magic It's magic the way we got together

It's magic It's justice, it's grace

It's magic It's magic, no not at random

And there must be a higher power some place.

They say that magic and the science world collide

But Einstein saw me looking at her and he joined my side

And I knew how it would be the way she hated me

And there must be a higher power somewhere

It's magic It's magic the way we got together

It's magic It's freedom, it's fair

It's magic It's magic no not at random

And there must be a higher power somewhere.
