It serves as the third track on the soundtrack album My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Film version[]

[Sunset Shimmer]

So you have magic

And it's not that great

But when it found you

You know it was fate

And it might seem scary now

But it can be wonderful, too

So how about we embrace the magic

And make the magic part of you?

You take a little dash of magic

And you let it ignite

Mix things up a little bit

And it might start to go right

In just five seconds flat

How the story has changed

All 'cause now you've embraced the magic

And it just got better in every way

I say embrace the magic

No more holding back, just let it out

If you can take the magic

And learn a little more what it can do

Once the magic is part of you

What's standing in your way

That you can't move today?

You've got the strength in you

To make your dreams come true

No need to shield yourself

From the magic that can help

Protect from any harm that might come

So you have magic

And it's not that great

But when it found you

You know it was fate

So if you listen close

You might make a new friend

And together we can make it!

I say embrace the magic

No more holding back, just let it out

If you can take the magic

And learn a little more what it can do

Once the magic is part of you

Once the magic is part of you

Once the magic is part of you

Once the magic is part of you

[Sunset Shimmer]

So you have magic, and it's not that great.

But when it found you, it was fate.

It's scary but it's wonderful, too.

Just keep at it, and you'll agree.

Embrace the magic, then you'll see.

It's better once you know it's part of you.

Oh, to have your energy!

How amazing life would be!

You can turn the everyday into a blast.

Super speed, it's so much fun.

In five seconds, you'll get it done.

You really know what it means to be fast.

If you embrace the magic,

There is so much you can do.

If you just embrace the magic,

You'll find a better you.

Super strength, what's there to say?

There's nothing standing in your way.

Moving things with ease? It must be swell!

Crystal shield, it's more than bling.

Protect your friends from anything.

Even if that something is themselves!

Animals, they're mysteries.

To talk to them is quite a feat.

I'm sure they have interestings to say.

As for me, I've got the touch.

Close to someone, I can learn so much.

It's a power I hope never goes away.

If you just embrace the magic,

There is so much you can do!
