A Kind of Magic
Queen + Paul Rodgers Lyrics

One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal
This is about having absolute focus and determination towards achieving something; having only one dream, one soul, one prize, and one goal, and directing all your energy towards it.

One golden glance of what should be
Sometimes all it takes is one glimpse of what could be, a flicker of hope, to give you the drive and motivation to pursue your goal.

(It's a kind of magic)
There's something almost supernatural about this drive and determination; it's like an unexplainable force, an energy beyond what's rational or logical.

One shaft of light that shows the way
This is referring to moments of clarity, when you get a sudden flash of insight or inspiration that illuminates your path forward.

No mortal man can win this day
Despite how powerful and unexplainable this energy feels, it's important to remember that it's a human trait - anyone can access it and use it to their advantage.

The bell that rings inside your mind
There's a voice inside your head that keeps telling you to keep pushing, to keep fighting, even when the odds seem against you.

It's a challenging the doors of time
You're trying to accomplish something that may seem impossible or unrealistic, but by pursuing your dream, you're also pushing the limits of time and what's possible.

The waiting seems eternity
When you're striving towards a goal, time seems to move exceptionally slowly, making the wait seem like an eternity.

The day will dawn of sanity
Despite the craziness and challenges that come with pursuing a dream, there will come a moment of clarity when everything falls into place and you realize that you're actually being sane in following your heart.

(It's a kind of magic)
Once again, this energy is being described as magical, almost impossible to explain or define.

There can be only one
There's only one true goal you should be focused on, and it's the one that truly motivates and inspires you.

This rage that lasts a thousand years
This is expressing the frustration and difficulty of pursuing a dream, a feeling that can sometimes last for an impossibly long time.

Will soon be gone
But, ultimately, that feeling of rage or frustration will go away, replaced by a sense of satisfaction and achievement.

This flame that burns inside of me
The passion and energy that comes with pursuing your dreams is like a fire that never goes out - it's a constant, burning energy that propels you forward.

I'm hearing secret harmonies
This is about feeling like you're in tune with something beyond yourself - that you're a part of a greater, cosmic rhythm that's guiding you towards your goal.

This rage that lasts a thousand years
Once again, the difficulty and length of time it can take to pursue a dream is being emphasized.

Will soon be, will soon be
But, the frustration won't last forever - it will soon come to an end.

Will soon be gone
The feeling of anger or frustration will eventually fade away, replaced by a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in having gone after what you truly want.

This is a kind of magic
The entire process of pursuing your dreams is like a magical experience - it's unexplainable and seemingly impossible, but ultimately fulfilling and transformative.

Magic, it's a kind of magic
The song is emphasizing once again that this energy and drive is mystical and otherworldly, beyond our complete understanding.

Magic, magic, magic, magic
The repetition of the word 'magic' reinforces the idea that the experience of pursuing your passions is something truly special and otherworldly.

Magic, ha ha ha ha it's magic
This is a playful, lighthearted way to affirm the feeling of magic and wonder that comes with pursuing your dreams.

Ha ha
A playful exclamation to emphasize the lightheartedness of the situation.

Yeah, yeah
A simple affirmation of agreement or understanding.

It's a kind of magic
The song ends with a final affirmation of the idea that pursuing your dreams is an inexplicable, mystical experience unlike anything else.
