Chorus—Dear God I pray, for a miracle today
That I may be as loving as I can
May I realise, the joy that’s in your eyes
And live in every moment without question
When I woke somebody had poured concrete in my throat
I couldn’t move my legs to get up, stand up, rise up
Lungs too heavy to breathe, eyes too sorry to see
That they’d been killing everything around me
Newspaper headlines say / They’ve finally found a way to save the world
But the problem with that plan / Is they’re only talking ‘bout money Blips on a computer screen
Don’t mean anything, anything to me
Pre-Chorus—Am I asking too much?
Is it too much to ask?
Chorus—
I can’t count the times I’d read of fresh disasters over breakfast
Thinking there was nothing I could do
About the pain in this world and the suffering
Just because they tell me, that’s the way it was
But, they don’t know the beautiful things we do
Does it have to be a crisis just to constitute news?
I refuse to buy into their lies
And choose to celebrate the goodness in this life
Pre-Chorus—
Chorus—
Outro—
It’s not too late for us my love (repeat)
