You're Magic

A Song by Denis Kevans©Denis Kevans 2002

With five loaves and two fishes,
You fed the mighty throng,
You fed the mighty multitude
And they all burst into song.

You're magic, O you're magic,
And the miracle goes on,
You made a million miles of razor wire,
From a cast off crown of thorns.

And from three nails what did you make?
Three nails of rusty iron,
You made fence posts for detention camps
That the razor wire would bind.

And the lame did walk and the blind did see,
And the miracle goes on,
You made a million miles of razor wire
From a cast off crown of thorns.

And from the cross, what did you make?
And the miracle goes on,
You made cross streets for detention camps,
A hundred times to one.

And the lame did walk and the blind did see,
And the miracle goes on,
You made a million miles of razor wire
From a cast off crown of thorns.

And from one cup of bitter gall,
And the miracle goes on,
You made an ocean full of mothers' tears,
For their children to walk on -

You're magic, O you're magic,
And the miracle goes on,
You made a million miles of razor wire
From a cast off crown of thorns.
