Magnificent Oh, oh, magnificent I was born I was born to be with you In this space and time After that and ever after I haven't had a clue Only to break rhyme This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue Oh, oh Only love, only love can leave such a mark But only love, only love can heal such a scar I was born I was born to sing for you I didn't have a choice but to lift you up And sing whatever song you wanted me to I give you back my voice From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise Oh, oh Only love, only love can leave such a mark But only love, only love can heal such a scar Justified till we die, you and I will magnify, oh-oh The Magnificent Magnificent, oh, oh Only love, only love can leave such a mark But only love, only love unites our hearts Justified till we die, you and I will magnify, oh-oh The Magnificent Magnificent Magnificent
