I'm looking for the music for a song one of my children picked up at camp. The refrain goes:

"Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of rain
Magic keeps the dream alive to try and try again
Magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave
I do believe in magic, I believe."

It sounds pretty new, certainly within the last few decades. Anybody know anything about this song?

OK -- I have to ask. Surely you're not referring to "Do You Believe in Magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful (sp?), a popular 1970's song. I ask only because it seems that the lyrics you quoted are very camp oriented, and may be free alterations of the original lyrics. And it's very difficult to guess at the tune based on your message.the lyrics

I think Ran Coleman is correct: the camp version is a modified version of "Do You Believe in Magic?" by the Lovin' Spoonful (sp.correct also!)
