That's What Makes It A Miracle
Embracing Miracles: A Journey from Darkness to Light
Lyrics
This is not the sound of remorse
This is not expressing regret or guilt.
This is the calm of the river at it's source
This represents the tranquility at the origin of a river.
This is the truth and the beauty of a sweet surrender, not a show of force
Highlighting the authenticity and beauty of a willing surrender, not a display of power.
I always tried to be strong
Expressing an attempt to appear resilient or tough.
I thought the dark was a place I could belong
Suggesting a belief that darkness could be a place of belonging.
And I was losing the argument with all my demons 'til you came along
Acknowledging a struggle with personal demons, resolved by someone's arrival.
All the things we have to lose were never meant to stay
Highlighting the impermanence of possessions and relationships.
All the things we have to lose
Reiterating the transient nature of what we possess.
Ask me now, I will refuse to trade a single day for today
Refusing to exchange any day for the present one.
It's a miracle
Describing the current state as a miracle, suggesting a positive transformation.
This is not the pain of a loss
Emphasizing that the current emotion is not about the pain of a loss.
This is the flower that rises through the moss
Comparing emotions to a flower breaking through challenges.
And in the arms of your memory, I'll fear no evil 'til I get across
Feeling protected by the memories in challenging times.
All the things we have to lose were never meant to stay
Repeating the idea that what we can lose is not meant to be permanent.
All the things we have to lose
Reiterating the impermanence of possessions and relationships.
Ask me now, I will refuse to trade a single day for today
Declining to swap any moment for the present one.
It's a miracle
Reaffirming the current state as a miraculous transformation.
If nothing beautiful lasts
Contemplating the fleeting nature of beauty.
Your words of kindness are written on my casts
Expressing gratitude for kind words that endure like a cast.
And I'll imagine a future full of light and wonder made of all my pasts
Imagining a bright and wondrous future built from past experiences.
I'm in the midst of a miracle today
Currently experiencing a miracle, suggesting a profound positive change.
It's taken all my fear away
The miracle has dispelled fear.
There's always something dear to pay
Acknowledging a cost or sacrifice for something valuable.
That's what makes it a miracle
Affirming that the payment or sacrifice is what defines the experience as a miracle.
