Miracle

Time and time again it seems
We've reached the point where all our dreams
Are crumblin' all around us
Every outcome unjust
Every step, it seems, has led us
Further from our goal instead
Our triumphs haven't mattered
We're driftin' ever backward
And we're runnin' out of time
Nowhere near the finish line

And it's growing ever clear
That a reckoning is near
And we'll have to make a choice

Is this path right?
Or is it made of lies? (Made of lies)
We're lookin' in ourselves
And trustin' in the light
A miracle is all we need, but there isn't one in sight

Each and every passing day
Our world's in further disarray
Confidence descending
Where's our happy ending?
On the path, but still, we strayed
Our aspirations quickly fade
Desperation's risin'
On hopeless, bleak horizons
Every life is on the line
Can't wait here for a sign

And just like the blood that's shed
Every cancer's sure to spread
And the time to act is short

We know inside
We're born to do what's right (what's right)
Desire to preserve life
Is powering the light
We're prayin' for a miracle, but for now, we'll stand and fight

Every plan falls apart, all of it pointless
Nothing gained, all in vain, goin' down
Under siege, sinking fast, crumbling quickly
Fear and shame, endless pain, floundering
Vile abominations all around us
Thriving, destroying every hope of justice
Still we pray
Soon, one day
Our faith will be revived
We'll wake to see the light

And a miracle
Yeah, a miracle
Is waiting there
I swear it showed up out of thin air
A miracle right in front of our eyes
