"Maybe They're Magic" lyrics
Sara Bareilles & Brian d'Arcy James Lyrics
(from "Into The Woods (2022 Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
If you know
What you want
Then you go
And you find it
And you get it-
Home
Do we want a child or not?
(Sung)
-And you give
And you take
And you bid
And you bargain
Or you live to regret it
Will you please go home?
There are rights and wrongs
And in-betweens-
No one waits
When fortune intervenes
And maybe they're really magic
Who knows?
Why you do
What you do
That's the point
All the rest of it
Is chatter
Look at her, she's crying
If the thing you do
Is pure in intent
If it's meant
And it's just a little bent
Does it matter?
Yes
No, what matters is that
Everyone tells tiny lies-
What's important, really, is the size
What?
Only three more tries
And we'll have our prize
When the end's in sight
You'll realize:
If the end is right
It justifies
The beans!
What you want
Then you go
And you find it
And you get it-
Home
Do we want a child or not?
(Sung)
-And you give
And you take
And you bid
And you bargain
Or you live to regret it
Will you please go home?
There are rights and wrongs
And in-betweens-
No one waits
When fortune intervenes
And maybe they're really magic
Who knows?
Why you do
What you do
That's the point
All the rest of it
Is chatter
Look at her, she's crying
If the thing you do
Is pure in intent
If it's meant
And it's just a little bent
Does it matter?
Yes
No, what matters is that
Everyone tells tiny lies-
What's important, really, is the size
What?
Only three more tries
And we'll have our prize
When the end's in sight
You'll realize:
If the end is right
It justifies
The beans!
