Ordinary Miracles

Verse 1

There's a man on a corner with a newspaper smile

Says he's seen every story, but it's been quite a while

Since he noticed the colour of the sky turning gold

Or the warmth of a hand he forgot how to hold

Verse 2

There's a girl in the doorway with her head in her hands

Saying nobody listens, nobody understands

But the world keeps on turning just the same as before

With a thousand little wonders she's not looking for

Chorus

Ordinary miracles

Hiding in the day

In the smallest things we miss

As we look the other way

Every little heartbeat

Every tear and smile

Ordinary miracles

Make it all worthwhile

Verse 3

There's a light in the window when the evening is near

And a song in the distance that you suddenly hear

Like a moment that's waiting just to fall in your lap

If you stop all the running and slip through the cracks

Verse 4

We were chasing the future, we were chasing the past

Trying to make something simple ever last

But it's here in the silence, not the plans that we make

It's the breath that you're taking, not the chances you take

Chorus

Ordinary miracles

Right before your eyes

In the way the world keeps spinning

Without asking why

Every broken feeling

Every trial and trial

Ordinary miracles

Make it all worthwhile

Bridge

You don't need a reason

You don't need a sign

You don't need tomorrow

You've already got the time

It's not in the distance

It's not out of reach

It's the things you're living

It's the things you teach

Final Chorus

Ordinary miracles

Simple and true

In every little moment

That connects me and you

If you let it find you

Stay a little while

Ordinary miracles

Make it all worthwhile

Outro

Just a passing second...

Just a quiet smile...

Ordinary miracles... all the while
