The Miracle
Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John
Every drop of rain that falls in Sahara Desert says it all,
It's a miracle,
All God's creations great and small, the Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal,
That's a miracle,
Test tube babies being born, mothers, fathers dead and gone,
It's a miracle,
We're having a miracle on earth, mother nature does it all for us,
The wonders of this world go on, the hanging Gardens of Babylon,
Captain Cook and Cain and Able, Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel
It's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle,
The one thing we're all waiting for, is peace on earth - an end to war,
It's a miracle we need - the miracle, the miracle we're all waiting for today,
If every leaf on every tree, could tell a story that would be a miracle,
If every child on every street, had clothes to wear and food to eat,
That's a miracle,
If all God's people could be free, to live in perfect harmony,
It's a miracle, we're having a miracle on earth,
Mother nature does it all for us
Open hearts and surgery, Sunday mornings with a cup of tea,
Super powers always fighting,
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling,
The wonders of this world go on,
It's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle,
The one thing we're all waiting for, is peace on earth and an end to war,
It's a miracle we need, the miracle, the miracle,
Peace on earth and end to war today,
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends,
repeat ........

The Miracle - Elton John
Released in 1973, "The Miracle" stands as a quintessential example of Elton John's mid-1970s pop-rock sound, characterized by its driving rhythm and soaring melodies. The track exemplifies the era's emphasis on polished production and emotional vocal delivery, fitting seamlessly into John's expansive discography that defined the genre. As a standalone recording, it showcases the collaborative chemistry between John and his frequent co-writer, Bernie Taupin, creating a song that remains a staple of his live performances and studio recordings. The composition reflects the optimism and stylistic confidence of the early 1970s, contributing to the enduring legacy of his work in popular music.
