Queen - A Kind Of Magic Lyrics

Queen Lyrics

"A Kind Of Magic"

It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic

One dream, one soul
One prize, one goal
One golden glance of what should be

It's a kind of magic

One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day

It's a kind of magic

The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time

It's a kind of magic

The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity

Is this a kind of magic?
(It's a kind of magic.)
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done

This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies

It's a kind of magic

The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time

It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic

This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be—
Will soon be—
Will soon be done

This is (this is) a kind (a kind) of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done. (Done.)

Magic
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic, magic, magic, magic, magic

(Magic), ha-ha-ha-ha, it's magic

Ha-ha
Yeah, yeah
Whoo

It's a kind of magic

Submit Corrections

Thanks to emily taylor, Cori, Joseph Hayes for correcting these lyrics.

Writer(s): Roger Taylor

Roger Taylor was credited as the sole writer of this song, although Freddie Mercury almost completely re-wrote Taylor's melody and chords, and made another mix. Taylor's version is at the end of the film "Highlander" (1986); Mercury's version is on the album.

In the "Highlander" film, Connor MacLeod answers to Rachel, "Hey, it's a kind of magic," when she asked him how he'd survived a gun shot. The phrase "a kind of magic" inspired Roger Taylor to write this song. Other references to the film in these lyrics are "one prize, one goal" and "no mortal man".

The single's cover art is an image of Clancy Brown as the "Highlander" film's villain, The Kurgan.

Roger Taylor's version of this song (featured on the film) was officially released only on the extra EP for the 2011 special edition of the album.

The cartoon images which dance to the beat of the song in its music video were produced by The Walt Disney Company.
