Magnificent Lyrics

[Intro]
Magnificent
Oh, oh, Magnificent

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

[Verse 2]
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...

[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar
[Post-Chorus]
Justify till we die, you and I will magnify
Oh oh, Magnificent

Magnificent
Oh, oh, whoo

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our hearts

[Post-Chorus]
Justify till we die, you and I will magnify
Oh oh, the Magnificent
Magnificent
Magnificent

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
