[00:22.635]Magician, magician take me upon your wings
[00:31.830]And gently roll the clouds away
[00:44.317]I'm sorry, so sorry; I have no incantations
[00:56.020]Only words to help sweep me away
[01:05.319]I want some magic to sweep me away
[01:10.517]I want some magic to sweep me away
[01:14.540]I want to count to five
[01:17.910]Turn around and find myself gone
[01:25.277]Fly me through the storm
[01:27.758]And wake up in the calm
[01:36.535]Release me from this body
[01:42.256]From this bulk that moves beside me
[01:47.873]Let me leave this body far away
[01:58.426]I'm sick of looking at me
[02:04.042]I hate this painful body
[02:09.528]That disease has slowly worn away
[02:19.507]Magician, take my spirit
[02:25.646]Inside I'm young and vital
[02:29.590]Inside I'm alive; please take me away
[02:40.901]So many things to do; it's too early
[02:47.406]For my life to be ending
[02:52.944]For this body to simply rot away
[03:01.799]I want some magic to keep me alive
[03:06.762]I want a miracle; I don't want to die
[03:11.229]I'm afraid that if I go to sleep I'll never wake
[03:14.860]I'll no longer exist
[03:21.104]I'll close my eyes and disappear
[03:23.507]And float into the mist
[04:14.367]Somebody, please hear me
[04:19.644]My hand can't hold a cup of coffee
[04:23.928]My fingers are weak, things just fall away
[04:35.631]Inside I'm young and pretty
[04:41.561]Too many things unfinished
[04:47.726]My very breath taken away
[04:57.339]Doctor, you're no magician, and I am no believer
[05:07.317]I need more than faith can give me now
[05:18.759]I want to believe in miracles, not just belief in numbers
[05:28.607]I need some magic to take me away
[05:38.299]I want some magic to sweep me away
[05:47.990]Visit on this starlit night
[05:50.420]Replace the stars, the moon, the light; the sun's gone
[05:57.864]Fly me through this storm
[06:00.033]And wake up in the calm
[06:07.660]I fly right through this storm
[06:10.586]And I wake up in the calm
