Sweet Miracle
Rush · Other Songs - Rush
I was standing on a reef
When the tide came in
Swept beneath the surface
Lost without a trace
No hope at all
No hope at all
Oh -- sweet miracle
oh -- sweet miracle
Of life
I wasn't talking with angels
I was talking to myself
Rising up to the surface
Raging against the night
Starless night
Oh -- sweet miracle
Love's sweet miracle
Of life
Oh salvation
Oh salvation
I wasn't praying for magic
I was hiding in plain sight
Rising up from the surface
To fly into the light
Sweet Miracle
