Miracle

Alex Ebert

[Intro]
Papa, uh-huh?
Why are you always talking about like, life and death?

[Verse 1]
Death is the reason for poetry
I know it be slow to be understood totally
But you knew it this, know it be counterintuitive
Ludicrous no freedom is freedom don't doubt this
Hot like a poetry
Don't be afraid just cause you told to be
Openly, this shit is painful, it's brainful
I chose to see, so just speak
Look at you real as you gonna be
Sweep as your bedtime
My daughter, go to sleep
Tomorrow the road'll be waiting, hopefully

[Chorus]
Miracle
I'm a living miracle
Live- living
Motherfucking miracle

[Post-Chorus]
One in a million chilling you out
Miracle child

[Verse 2]
Then I hear my daughter ask
"Papa tell me, why do we die"?
Ooh, I think she felt my suicide
She asked, "Do mountains crumble?"
I say, "Yes babe, just like you and I"
She say, "Yeah, but do the blue in our eyes vanish
Just like the blue in sky when the night comes strip off you alike"
Damn that's deep, I held her tight
I say "Yes babe, we decompose to feed the roses"
But you know why? they blooming out your tomb and mine"
"Pops, that's sad" she said
But I guess I always knew inside
I laughed and said
"That's how you know you're truly mine"
"My little student, either do or die"
She didn't cry, she just said
"Pops, read me that Rumi rhyme"
Some major wisdom out of Sew Me Sky
For you and I, are forever where we truly lie
Together, Illumini

[Chorus]
Miracle
I'm a living miracle
I'm- I'm a mothafuckin'
Motherlovin' miracle

[Post-Chorus]
One in a million chilling you out
Miracle child

[Break]
Hah, rise
Hah, rise (three times)
Hah, rise (three times)
Hah, tides (three times)

[Bridge]
Walk, nothing is alive
Nowhere is cool
No one is a friend
Nothing is alive

[Outro]
Three times
Three times
