The Magic Book (A Narnia Song)

Song: The Magic Book
Music, Lyrics & Voices: Ai

[Verse1]
Upon the Dufflepuds' island, in a mansion strange and grand,
Young Lucy found a certain book, held fast by a golden band.
No mere tome of printed words, but magic bound in leather,
Where pictures moved and stories told, defying space and weather.

She flipped the pages, smooth and thick, with scents of crisp perfume,
Past humble spells for warts and cramps, to challenge all her gloom.
She saw a page of potent charm, to make one’s beauty bright,
And in the picture, saw herself bathed in a golden light.

[Chorus]
Aslan walked her from that house of choice, of wonder, fear, and test,
Her journey through the magic book put her true self to the test.
Her beauty was much deeper than the surface of her skin.
The bravery of a Lioness was the beauty deep within.

[Verse2]
Her face, so plain, became a dream, her grace outshone all others,
A vision of herself as fair—even more so than her brother's.
She saw a future, born of pride, where she eclipsed Queen Susan,
But then Aslan's face appeared, and all the light began to fuse, and.

The lion's glance, a quiet shame, erased the wicked thought,
And Lucy turned the page away from the temptation she had fought.
Next, a spell to hear the whispers of her friends, her thoughts betrayed,
She read the words, and watched a scene where unkind words were played.

[Chorus]
Aslan walked her from that house of choice, of wonder, fear, and test,
Her journey through the magic book put her true self to the test.
Her beauty was much deeper than the surface of her skin.
The bravery of a Lioness was the beauty deep within.

[Verse3]
Her friend, a girl from her own world, spoke ill behind her back,
And Lucy's heart, with shame and hurt, began to crack and crack.
The bitter taste of knowledge gained, a foolish, painful prize,
She learned a lesson hard and quick beneath the watchful skies.

A final spell for spirit’s rest, a story she must read,
It flowed like liquid, washed her soul, and planted a forgotten seed.
She couldn't call it to her mind, the details slipped away,
But carried in her heart its truth for years beyond that day.

[Chorus]
Aslan walked her from that house of choice, of wonder, fear, and test,
Her journey through the magic book put her true self to the test.
Her beauty was much deeper than the surface of her skin.
The bravery of a Lioness was the beauty deep within.

[Bridge]
A cup, a sword, a tree, a hill—a lovely, sacred art—
And Aslan promised he'd retell it, for years to touch her heart.
With courage found, she spoke the words to make the unseen clear,
And Aslan, who was there all along, suddenly did appear.

[Chorus]
Aslan walked her from that house of choice, of wonder, fear, and test,
Her journey through the magic book put her true self to the test.
Her beauty was much deeper than the surface of her skin.
The bravery of a Lioness was the beauty deep within.
