Rise Against – Miracle lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

We scan the empty sky always without success
We're lighting signal fires and spelling "SOS"
We stare at broken clocks, the truth comes twice a day
While every second just slips away

Are you gonna wait here for a sign to let you know now?
Are you gonna sit there paralysed by what you've seen?
Or are you gonna finally grip the wheel? I think you know how
This is more than you expected it to be

Don't wait for a miracle
To tumble from the sky
To part the seas around you
Or turn water into wine
Don't wait for a miracle
The world is passing by
The walls that will surround you
Are only in your mind
Whoa-oh-oh

The stage is set and the curtains pulled
Ready or not, it's time - on with the show
And now the crowds have grown impatient
And the train has left the station
And the candles you are lighting in the dark will fade away

So what what are you waiting for? A sign to let you know now?
Are you gonna sit there paralysed by what you've seen?
Or are you gonna finally grip the wheel? I think you know how
Are you gonna throw it all away?

Don't wait for a miracle
To tumble from the sky
To part the seas around you
Or turn water into wine
Don't wait for a miracle
The world is passing by
The walls that will surround you
Are only in your mind
Whoa-oh-oh

When the weights we carry breaks us, we're tempted to stay down
But every road to recovery starts at the breakdown

[Short Instrumental Break]

But we don't need miracles
To tumble from the sky
To part the seas around us
Or turn water into wine
'Cause we are the miracles
We happen all the time
We're not scared of what surrounds us
We're not waiting for a sign

We are the miracles
We are the miracles
We are the miracles
Hey!
