A Kind of Magic Lyrics

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...

   Probably has a lot to do with Freddie Mercury's religon - Zoroastrianism. The Greek equivalent of the Roman God Mercury would be Hermes (as in the Hermetica) and the Ancient Egyptian version would be Thoth.

   It was written for a film. So I guess there’s no real meaning away from this. Does sort of work in the film though.

   One dream one soul, one prize
   One goal, one golden glance of what should be
   
   This is talking about the soul transcending from the body, to see what heaven/afterlife will be like
   
   
   One shaft of light that shows the way
   No mortal man can win this day
   
   This is talking about the light leading to the afterlife... reaching it means you are mortal and will cease to exist
   
   The song is about death, but not in a depressing way... the soul's journey to the afterlife is a kind of magic..

   A kind of magic. Once this song played over and over on my spotify all night. I realized it the next day when I woke up and noticed it had been repeating. I checked and noted that replay 1 had not been clicked. It sort of puzzled me through the rest of my day. Anyhow, I believe this song was written for the Highlander character primarily however, there is a raw spiritual oneness where it feels like Freddie Mercury and Queen as a whole entity assume the position of immortality. And...they have. Haven't they?

   The song must be about waiting to give birth.
   (but it is probably for Highlander)

   I think they are talking about life and the way it goes. Like you have one goal,one soul and one dream. But no mortal man can win this beautiful race of survival cause everybody must die. But as long as we live it, its a kind of magic.

   Reference to 2012 the start of peace on earth. After the small wars that are kicking off this earth is going to have peace at last. The song was sent from upstairs to us to show the way via a song writer. I am an mesenger for much higher levels,this earth is just a big classroom. For good luck just do good deeds and expect no reward. Freddy is fine he writes new songs and sends them down for others to pick up via the pyschic internet which links us all.Just be good for peace to follow and help all life on your planet.God is watching you all for good.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
