there is no wonder where there is no hope
we learn this truth before we learn to speak
defining magic as just one more trope
among the ones with which we have to cope
tools of the just and weapons of the meek
there is no wonder where there is no hope
so we declare but yet the merest dope
believes his circumstances are unique
defining magic as just one more trope
that must be learnt before he climbs the slope
towards the greatest highest noble peak
there is no wonder where there is no hope
those are the words and they are no soft soap
serving to guide us unto what we seek
defining magic as just one more trope
of our old language so that gives us scope
for honest understanding and critique
there is no wonder where there is no hope
defining magic as just one more trope
