Von Hertzen Brothers Miracle song lyrics

Words: Von Hertzen Brothers / L.A.Skin

I was banging on the door when I came to realize

I would need a miracle to get a taste of paradise

I used to get very very lonesome

And jealous of everyone else who was playing in the rain

And I never really came to understand

Why happiness belonged to the other kids, not me in any way

I couldn't go out to play

The little child within myself

Couldn't learn to read the signs

I kept hiding within myself

Like a bird afraid to fly

With no fire within myself

I couldn't burn to reach the skies

The child within myself was a mess and yes,

I needed a miracle to open the gates

For the light to kick out loneliness

What I need is a miracle

All I need is a miracle

The keeper of the door faced me eye to eye

I couldn't let the mirror fall for the fear I would break inside

The little child within myself

Couldn't learn to read the signs

I kept hiding within myself

Like a bird afraid to fly

With no fire within myself

I couldn't burn to reach the skies

Though I tried and tried to step into the light

What I need is a miracle

All I need is a miracle
