Missing the Miracle

You call it "bright" And I call it "simple" And somewhere in the middle, it's "truth" You see the hill And I see the castle Our front that was united is doomed, ooh, ooh You call this "brick-and-mortar" I call this "sacred skin" You see the figure skater and I fear the ice is thin And the light is all around us But when we spar, it's dim We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle You see the cloud And I see the lighting And somewhere in the middle is sun And you say, "It's greatness" And I say, "Bad timing" And when we leave the ring, no one's won, ooh I go for the jugular You knock 'til you get in You hold the loud and raucous, and I hear the dropping pin And you run all front and center I whisper paper-thin We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle, woah The winter gets long The rapids get white And what doesn't kill us turns to grey You call this "brick-and-mortar" I call this "sacred skin" You see the figure skater and I fear the ice is thin And the light is all around us But when we spar, it's dim We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle Missing the miracle (The light is all around us) Missing the miracle (The light is all around us) Missing the miracle
