Miracle

Walking on the city concrete I fall into a vision on Front Street And I see it all in dismal imagery Sounds and the sights as they hang on over me And the faces of all the pedestrians The strangers I pass that look like friends There's a number all allotted to them Oh, the time we have on this rock well spent Is it a miracle? That we're still around In a world so spherical That we're not left here and now Now I'm standing at the edge of the ocean Heart heavy in the town I grew up in And my fears are drowned in the fading blue I'm out on the shore reaching out to you And right there on the water it hits me For every ounce of suffering and mystery There's a child that's born in a hospital A flower that blooms in the freezing cold And it's a miracle Of cosmic chance A goddamn miracle Held by the hands of no master plan In all the highs, and in all the lows The mystery that consumes us whole There isn't a single thing we know It's a fucked up show, it's a miracle But I can't just let time pass me by With an aching heart for an alibi Help me learn to love the air I breathe The light in the eyes of the irony 'Cause all in all I have it all When all I am is a miracle
