practically magic

It's no mystery that if you save your money
You'll have something to tide you over
If—when—life gets you down
But the truth of the matter is
You might end up with holes in your pockets
Where you once believed
Security and calm
Would help you stay afloat
When emptiness is a state of being

Money makes the world go 'round
They say
Nonetheless, I say it doesn't
Except when you use it for good
In that case, it's practically magic
As it transforms a life
Changes everything
Even if you've got holes in your pockets
Where safe deposit boxes once were
