About this listen
I translated my friend Steve O’Keefe’s recent poem, Magic Lever, into a folk song. I hope you like it. And I especially hope that Steve likes it.
Poems make great songs. Any poet can write songs like these.
Magic Lever Poem
Everyone’s lookin’ for a magic leverLookin’ for a button to pressLookin’ for a phrase to utterTo get us out of this mess
Everyone wants a silver bulletOr a magical sword that slaysOr else they want a magic potionTo take the mess away.
I’m lookin’ for a new solutionSomething bigger than ever beforeOne spin that changes the worldA whisper that becomes a roar
I’m lookin’ for a magic leverSomething no one’s ever seen beforeI’m listenin’ for a secret signalThe whisper that becomes a roar
I’m lookin’ for a magic leverSomething no one’s ever seen beforeI’m listenin’ for a secret signalThe whisper that becomes a roar
