Secondhand Magic

You watch me around corners
To discover my secret
That affords me this gift
Because you'd like to keep it

Too cheap to buy it
On your own
You think you can steal it
And smuggled it home.

But it's not something purchased
It's something you earn
I can't give it to you
It's something you learn

There's no way to cheat
There's no way to lie
The gateway is narrow
Most simply pass by

Unable to find it
Because they don't see
Or bother to search
Upon bended knees.
