When you got there

I was sure you'd come too late

we all paid you lip service

than address our prayers to fate

sister gone

she tripped and fell

a prodigal hell

and do I dare believe you'll reach

such a long lost cause

wrapped in gauze

as good as dead



she's breathing...



Chorus:

My lord

she's a miracle child

I know

she's a miracle child

I saw

how she'd chosen the grave

My lord

It's a miracle save



When she woke up

we were dumbstruck at the sight

Like coming out of a coma

All she asked for was more light



Fluttering eyes

Life from a tomb

You flooded her room

with a fearsome mercy

Torn from the devils grip

from the clutches of fear

I can hear her dead heart beating



Chorus



We lose hope

we mumble our prayers

We seal off the stairs

and never dare believe your reach

can pass through stone

can lead a child home

Can make the dead start blinking
