when you got there I was sure you'd come too late we all pay you lip service then address our prayers to fate sister gone she tripped and fell a prodigal hell and do I dare believe you'll reach such a long lost cause wrapped in gauze as good as dead she's breathing... my Lord she's a miracle child I know she's a miracle child and I saw how she'd chosen the grave my Lord it's a miracle save when she woke up we were dumbstruck at the sight like coming out of a coma all she asked for was more light fluttering eyes life from a tomb you flooded her room with a fearsome mercy torn from the devil's grip from the clutches of fear I can hear her dead heart beating my Lord she's a miracle child I know she's a miracle child and I saw how she'd chosen the grave my Lord it's a miracle save we lose hope we mumble our prayers we seal off the stairs and never dare believe your reach can pass through stone can lead a child home can make the dead start blinking Lyrics: Steve Taylor, Peter Furler / Music: Jody Davis, Peter Furler © 1996 Dawn Treader Music (SESAC) / Helmet Publishing (BMI) / Warner Alliance Music / Soylent Tunes (ASCAP), Dawn Treader Music admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing.
