NOT EVERY WITCH IS WICKED [Intro – whispered, playful] Moon is rising… Candles glowing… Something’s brewing… But don’t go running! Grab your broomstick, Come on in, The witches’ party’s About to begin! [Verse 1] They see a witch and think she’s bad, Dark little spellbook, looking mad, Pointy hat and a crooked grin, “Careful! Don’t let the witch get in!” But what if she’s just making tea? Talking to the moon by the old oak tree? A little lavender, a little thyme, Finding some magic in the passing time. Perfume bottle, herbs in a jar, Looking at Venus, wishing on a star, Suddenly somebody starts to scream, “Witch!” Oh darling… Really? [Pre-Chorus] We’ve heard the stories, We’ve heard the lies, We’ve seen how fear can close your eyes. So before you judge what you don’t understand, Take a little time… And take my hand. [Chorus – BIG & CATCHY] We’re not all wicked witches, We’re not here to curse, We’d rather make some magic Than make the whole world worse! Moonlight in our pockets, Stardust in our hair, If kindness is our magic, Then we’ll sprinkle it everywhere! Do no harm, That’s our way, Dance beneath the moon Till the break of day! We’re not all wicked witches… So come and join the play! [Verse 2] Different faiths, different stories, Different ways to see the night, Some were taught to fear the magic, Some were taught that magic’s wrong or right. But we’re not here to change you, We’re not here to make you choose, Believe whatever fills your heart, Just don’t tell us what to do! Because the earth is full of wonder, And the stars don’t ask our name, Maybe magic isn’t darkness… Maybe fear’s the thing we should blame. [Pre-Chorus] We’ve heard the stories, We’ve heard them told, Some were innocent souls Caught in fear of old. So we’ll remember, But we won’t live afraid, We’ll turn the past to wisdom And dance upon the shade. [Chorus] We’re not all wicked witches, We’re not here to curse, We’d rather make some magic Than make the whole world worse! Moonlight in our pockets, Stardust in our hair, If kindness is our magic, Then we’ll sprinkle it everywhere! Do no harm, That’s our way, Dance beneath the moon Till the break of day! We’re not all wicked witches… So come and join the play! [WITCHY RAP – FAST, CHEEKY, BUILDING] Okay, let’s clear the smoke, Let me have a little joke, You see a bottle, see a flame, Suddenly I’m taking blame? Herbs in the cupboard, Flowers on the floor, “What’s she doing with that?” I’m just making something more! Perfume on my wrist? “Must be witchcraft!” Reading ancient stories? “Better watch her!” Looking at the planets, Talking to the trees, Yeah, they’re better listeners Than some people I meet! Potion in a cauldron, Stir it clockwise, Little bit of moon dust, Look into my eyes! No, I don’t want your soul, No, I don’t want your gold, No, I don’t need a sacrifice, Honestly… I’m getting old! We don’t all hex, We don’t all curse, We don’t want your misery, We don’t want your hearse! Some witches heal, Some witches pray, Some witches simply Like dancing all day! Different paths, Different ways, Different beliefs, Different names! So if you don’t understand us, That’s okay, But don’t turn fear Into hate! Because history remembers What fear can do, And maybe there’s a lesson For me and you… Don’t judge the magic, Judge the heart, Because that’s where The real spells start! [BREAKDOWN – dreamy, magical] Close your eyes… Feel the breeze… Listen to the whisper Of the ancient trees… No darkness… No fear… Just moonlight… And the people You love near. [BUILD] Light your candle, Raise it high, Let it sparkle In the midnight sky! One little flame… Then another… Different witches… Different colours… But beneath the moon, We’re all still human. [FINAL CHORUS – HUGE] We’re not all wicked witches, We’re not here to curse, We’d rather make some magic Than make the whole world worse! Moonlight in our pockets, Stardust in our hair, If kindness is our magic, Then we’ll sprinkle it everywhere! Do no harm, That’s our way, Dance beneath the moon Till the break of day! We’re not all wicked witches… So come and join the play! [Final Chorus – bigger, playful] Witches to the left! Witches to the right! Wave your little broomsticks In the moonlight! Laugh a little louder, Let the cauldron sing, Magic isn’t something You should always fear! We’re not all wicked witches! We’re not here to fight! We’re just making magic On a beautiful night! Do no harm… Live with love… And dance beneath the stars tonight! [Outro – whispered, mischievous] Now… Who wants cake? Because even witches Need snacks.
