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