Miracle

A penny for your thoughts now, baby

Looks like the weight of the world's on your shoulders now

I know you think you're goin' crazy

Just when it seems everything's gonna work itself out

They drive you right back down

And you said it ain't fair that a man walks

When a bird can fly

We have to kick the ground

The stars kiss the sky

They say that spirits live

A man has to die

They promised us truth

Now they're giving us lies

Gonna take a miracle

To save us this time

And your savior has just left town

Gonna need a miracle

'Cause it's all on the line

And I won't let you down

(No, I won't let you down, ooh)

The river of your hope is floodin'

And I know the dam is busted

If you need me, I'll come runnin'

I won't let you down, no, no

You're looking for salvation

And you thought that it'd be shining like an angel's light

Well, the angels left this nation

And salvation caught the last train out tonight

He lost a hell of a fight

And he said, "I'm just one man"

"That's all I'll ever be"

"I never can be everything you wanted from me"

"I've got big plans, so big that any blind man could see"

"I'm standin' in the river, now I'm drownin' in the sea"

Gonna take a miracle

To save us this time

And your savior has just left town

Gonna need a miracle

'Cause your heart's on the line

And your heartbeat is slowin' down (heartbeat's slowin')

Your feet are grounded, still you're reachin' for the sky

You can let 'em clip your wings

'Cause I believe that you can fly

Well, my eyes have seen the horror

Of the coming of the flood

I've driven deep the thorny crown

Into the soul of someone's son

Still, I'll look you in the eye

'Cause I believed in things I've thought

And I'll die without regret for the wars I have fought

Gonna take a miracle

To save you this time

And your savior has just left town

Gonna need a miracle

'Cause your heart's doing time

And your conscience is calling you out (conscience calling)

It ain't all for nothing

Life ain't written in the sand

I know the tide is comin'

But it's time we made a stand with a miracle

Gonna take a miracle

I need a miracle

I need a miracle

I need a miracle

Na, na, na, na, miracle

Miracle, oh, woah-oh
