Queen – A Kind Of Magic Lyrics

Rock

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 (Yeah)
There can be only one (One one 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

Ha ha ha ha it's magic
Ha ha
Yeah yeah
Woah
It's a kind of magic
(Magic, magic, magic, magic)
Ha, ha, ha, ha, it's magic
Ha, ha
Yeah, yeah
It's a kind of magic

Musically, the song showcases Queen's signature arena rock sound with Freddie Mercury's soaring vocals, layered harmonies, and a driving rhythm that builds epic momentum. Written for the soundtrack of the film "Highlander," the song captures both the movie's themes of immortality and struggle while serving as a broader metaphor for life's challenges and the "magic" found in believing in something greater than oneself.
