Ordinary Miracles

(album: The Music Never Ends - 1997)

Change can come on tiptoe
Love is where it starts
It resides
Often hides
Deep within our hearts

And just as pebbles make a mountain
Raindrops make a sea
One day at a time
Change begins with you and me

Ordinary miracles
Happen all around
Just by giving and receiving
Comes belonging and believing

Ev'ry sun that rises
Never rose before
Each new day
Leads the way
Through a diff'rent door

And we can all be quiet heroes
Living quiet days
Walking through the world
Changing it in quiet ways

Ordinary miracles
Like candles in the dark
Each and ev'ry one of us lights a spark

And the walls can tumble
And the mountains can move
The winds and the tides can turn

Ordinary miracles
One for ev'ry star
No lightning bolt or clap of thunder
Only joy and quiet wonder

Endless possibilities
Right before our eyes
See the way a miracle multiplies

Hope can spring eternally
Plant it and it grows
Love is all that's necessary
Love in its extraordinary way
Makes ordinary miracles ev'ry blessed day
