I'd reiterate what people have said already, although it is more of an assumption than a lore-backed conclusion,
Bards would likely gain their powers from the same place White Mages or Conjurers gain their power from, which I am pretty sure is the elements. Correct me if I am wrong, though.
Bards would use a form of elemental magic to empower their songs. I'd even go as far as saying that it is easier for a bard to harness elemental magic through song/music than to just straight out cast magic spells.
This is all speculation, but as mechanically the class performs as a buffer class, and requires a 30 archer and 15 Conjurer to unlock the job of Bard to begin with, I think it is reasonable to attribute elemental magic to empower their songs.
Some of you ladies and gents who know the lore better than myself can correct me if I am wrong.
