  • Something's at the edge of your mind, you don't know what it is
    Somethin' you were hopin' to find but your not sure what it is
    Then you hear the music and it all comes crystal clear
    The music does the talkin' says the things you want to hear

    I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
    Got the magic power of the music in me
    I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
    Got the magic power of the music in me

    She climbs into bed, she pulls the covers overhead and she turns her little radio on
    She's had a rotten day so she hopes the DJ's gonna play her favorite song
    It makes her feel much better, brings her closer to her dreams
    A little magic power makes it better that it seems

    She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free
    She gets the magic power of the music from me
    She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free
    She gets the magic power of the music from me

    If you're thinkin' it over but you just can't sort it out
    Do you want someone to tell you what they think it's all about
    Are you the one and only who's sad and lonely, reachin' for the top
    Well the music keeps you goin' and it's never gonna stop
    Never gonna stop
    Never gonna, never gonna, never gonna stop

    The world is full of compromise, and infinite red tape
    But the music's got the magic, it's your one chance for escape
    So turn me on turn me up it's your turn to dream
    A little magic power makes it better than it seems

    I'm young now, I'm wild now I want to be free
    I got the magic power of the music in me
    I'm young now, I'm wild and I'm free
    Got the magic power of the music in me Writer/s: GIL MOORE, MIKE LEVINE, RIK EMMETT

  • Hermonator from St. LouisObviously some people have to be negative and show their lack of understanding of lyrics and song meanings and what makes different bands both great. Feel sorry got you. Magic Power is a great song and in no way related to what was said in the other fantastic song. Sad. Read the lyrics and maybe get off the ice fishing lake once in a while.
  • Zank from Northern MichiganI find it somewhat interesting that a three piece band from Canada came out with a song in 1981 called "Magic Power" about music being played on the radio. When in the previous year a different three piece band out of Canada produced a song about music being played on the radio called "Spirit Of The Radio". Coincidence? I think not. "And the magic music makes your morning mood"
  • Patrick Longworth from Okanagan Falls, British Columbia, CanadaI love "Magic Power", it's one of my all time favourites.
