Sung by the amazing 10 year old Mika Elley, feat. Kurnel MC and produced by Ryan Beehre, this song is an upbeat dance number, about the magic inside all of us, to become whoever we want to and do whatever we want to, in our lives. BVs Avalon, Malachai and Jonte
lyrics
I can sail the ocean wide
Ride the waves of the ever changing tide
Everything I need comes from deep inside
I’ve got the magic in me, me, me
I can cross over desert sand
Leap out, trust in where I land
If I need help then I’ll take your hand
I’ve got the magic in me, me, me
CHORUS
I’ve got the magic in me, me, me
I’ve got the magic in me, me, me
To be whoever I want to be
I’ve got the magic in me, me, me
Walk the length of the longest beach
Learn lessons that I can teach
I know nothing is out of my reach
I’ve got the magic in me, me, me
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Just rap along, There’s nobody in the world that’s quite like me
I’m individual, yeah, I’m really unique
I can be what I wanna be, I’m making history
Make new discoveries because this life’s a mystery
I’ve got pride and passion and I’ve got big dreams
I’ve got determination, nobody can stop me
So take your sparkle, take your shine and hold it in the air
Now spin it round and let it go, that’s magic everywhere
There’s magic everywhere, and it starts right here
CHORUS
(Key change)
Step forward on my own two feet
Listen closely to people I meet
Feel the power, it can’t be beat
I’ve got the magic in me, me, me
I’VE GOT THE MAGIC IN ME (I’ve got the magic) x4
Me, me, me (Key change)
CHORUS X 2
OUTRO
To be whoever I want to be
There’s no one else I would rather be
Best version that I can be
Of magical me, me, me
