That's What Makes It a Miracle

This is not the sound of remorse This is the calm of the river at it's source This is the truth and the beauty of a sweet surrender, not a show of force I always tried to be strong I thought the dark was a place I could belong And I was losing the argument with all my demons 'til you came along All the things we have to lose were never meant to stay All the things we have to lose Ask me now, I will refuse to trade a single day for today It's a miracle This is not the pain of a loss This is the flower that rises through the moss And in the arms of your memory, I'll fear no evil 'til I get across All the things we have to lose were never meant to stay All the things we have to lose Ask me now, I will refuse to trade a single day for today It's a miracle If nothing beautiful lasts Your words of kindness are written on my casts And I'll imagine a future full of light and wonder made of all my pasts I'm in the midst of a miracle today It's taken all my fear away There's always something dear to pay That's what makes it a miracle
