Can you Imagine?

Can you imagine a world without witches,
A world with all people the same?
Where the only known dragons are hiding in books,
And children are terrible tame?
A world without magic would be sad indeed.
I cannot imagine the pain
Of having a world where there's no Santa Claus
Where wizards are dreamed of in vain.

Can you imagine a world without spells,
That science and business run?
And think of the sadness a unicorn feels
When he no longer plays in the sun

Can you imagine a world without witches,
No elves, and no magical pools?
And can you imagine how dull it would be
If all that we had were the schools?

I cannot imagine a world without witches
A world with no magical wand.
A world without beauty, or even a dream,
Or a wood sprite of whom to be fond

They say I should grow up and be more mature,
Like a normal adult ought to do.
But I'd rather, at night, go to dance with a witch
And I'll bet that you feel that way too.
