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, and 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 someplace
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
