He rode his wagon into town A gaudy spectacle And every gray November brought him there Always entertaining Prestidigitating Pulling rabbits from thin air He would wave his magic wand He would say the magic words Working up a miracle Puttin' on a show Changing what I thought to be Unchangeable reality Wish I had a magic wand of my own Now twenty-three Novembers later The prestidigitator Still holds a power in my mind 'Cause I'd like a quick and easy way To look inside and make a change A magic wand would do me fine I would wave my magic wand I would say the magic words Working up a miracle Puttin' on a show Changing what I thought to be Unchangeable reality If I had a magic wand of my own I would wave it over me and over you
And over all this crazy world And make it right Oh and there's so much I'd change If I could take the easy way! I would wave my magic wand I would say the magic words Working up a miracle Puttin' on a show Changing what I thought to be Unchangeable reality I would wave my magic wand I would say the magic words Working up a miracle Puttin' on a show Changing what I thought to be Unchangeable reality If I had a magic wand of my own The only way to really change Is simple choices everyday Obey the Spirit-whisper in my soul With the help of God, a little time Can change a heart, renew a mind Without a magic wand He'll work a miracle... Without a magic wand He'll work a miracle... Without a magic wand He'll work a miracle...
