I Was Made to Love Magic Lyrics

I was born to love no one
No one to love me
Only the wind in the long green grass
The frost in a broken tree

I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many many years ago

I was born to use my eyes
Dream with the sun and the skies
To float away in a lifelong song
In the mist where melody flies

I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many many years ago

I was born to sail away
Into a land of forever
Not to be tied to an old stone grave
In your land of never

I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many many years ago

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
