lyrics

The Town That Still Believes in Magic
Scott Guberman and David Gans
February 12, 2019

In the town that still believes in magic
Children play and laughter fills the air
It's a trip beyond imagination
A lovely place to have your soul repaired

In the town that still believes in magic
Music is the language of our peace
Every day is cause for celebration
Harmony, perspective, and release

Celebrate the ties that bind
Leave your fear and dread behind, and rise
You will see it and believe it
It's revealed to you when you arrive

In the town that still believes in magic
People still buy records in the store
The concert hall is filled with people listening
You don't find that too often anymore
You don't find that too often anymore
You don't find that too often anymore
You don't find that too often anymore
