It was the same day that Tope and I sat under the old oak tree, reflecting on how far we had come. The warmth of the afternoon sun, combined with the peace of the moment, sparked an idea. We had talked about the power of believing in oneself, about the magic that lies within us all — and then, it hit me.
"What if we turned this into something bigger?" I asked, my voice filled with excitement.
Tope raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"A song," I said, "A song that shares the message of 'The magic is in you.' A song that spreads the message to everyone — not just here on campus, but everywhere."
She smiled, her eyes lighting up. "I love that idea. Music has the power to reach people in ways words alone can't. Let's do it."
And just like that, we began to write.
We sat there for hours, scribbling down lyrics and humming melodies. The words flowed naturally, inspired by everything we had learned together, the struggles we had overcome, and the strength we had found within ourselves. The song was simple but powerful, capturing the essence of the journey we had taken:
"The magic's in you, can't you see?
It's the strength inside, setting you free.
Through every storm, through every fight,
The magic's in you, take flight, take flight."
We added a chorus, one that we could all sing together, a reminder to ourselves and to everyone who would hear it:
"The magic's in you, deep within,
It's not the end, but where you begin.
Don't be afraid, don't hesitate,
The magic's in you, it's never too late."
As we finished the last verse, we felt a sense of fulfillment. It wasn't just a song; it was a declaration, an anthem for anyone who had ever doubted their own strength. It was our gift to the world, our way of giving back the magic that had shaped our lives.
We performed it together later that evening, under the same oak tree where it all started. The small crowd that gathered around us couldn't help but be moved. As the final notes echoed in the quiet night, there was a moment of silence — and then, applause. The magic was in us, and it resonated with everyone who listened.
Tope and I exchanged a look, a silent acknowledgment that this was just the beginning.
The magic was real — and it was in all of us.
The End
