I was banging on the door when I came to realize
I would need a miracle to get a taste of paradise


I used to get very very lonesome
And jealous of everyone else who was playing in the rain
And I never really came to understand

Why happiness belonged to the other kids, not me in any way

I couldn't go out to play


The little child within myself
Couldn't learn to read the signs

I kept hiding within myself
Like a bird afraid to fly
With no fire within myself

I couldn't burn to reach the skies
The child within myself was a mess and yes,
I needed a miracle to open the gates

For the light to kick out loneliness

What I need is a miracle

All I need is a miracle

The keeper of the door faced me eye to eye

I couldn't let the mirror fall for the fear I would break inside

The little child within myself

Couldn't learn to read the signs
I kept hiding within myself
Like a bird afraid to fly

With no fire within myself
I couldn't burn to reach the skies


Though I tried and tried to step into the light

What I need is a miracle

All I need is a miracle
