Maureen McGovern - Ordinary Miracles lyrics

rate me

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!
