 Struggling with Miracle? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

A penny for your thoughts now baby 
Looks like the weight of the world's 
On your shoulders now 

I know you think you're going crazy 
Just when it seems everything's 
Gonna work itself out 
They drive you right back down 

And you said it ain't fair 
That a man walks 
When a bird can fly 
We have to kick the ground 
The stars kiss the sky 
They say that spirits live 
A man has to die 
They promised us truth 
Now they're giving us lies 

Gonna take a miracle to save us this time 
And your savior has just left town 
Gonna need a miracle 
'Cause it's all on the line 
And I won't let you down 
(No I won't let you down) 
The river of your hope is flooding 
And I know the dam is busted 
If you need me I'll come running 
I won't let you down, no, no 

You're looking for salvation 
You thought that it'd be shining 
Like an angel's light 
Well, the angels left this nation 
And salvation caught the last train 
Out tonight 
He lost one hell of a fight 

He said 
I'm just one man, that's all I'll ever be 
I never can be everything you wanted from me 
I've got plans so big 
That any blind man could see 
I'm standing in the river 
Now I'm drowning in the sea 

Gonna take a miracle to save us this time 
And your savior has just left town 
Gonna need a miracle 
'Cause your heart's on the line 
And your heartbeat is slowing down 
Your feet are grounded still 
You're reaching for the sky 
You can let 'em clip your wings 
'Cause I believe that you can fly 

Well my eyes have seen the horror 
Of the coming of the flood 
I've driven deep the thorny crown 
Into the soul of someone's son 
Still I'll look you in the eye 
'Cause I've believed in things I've thought 
And I'll die without regret 
For the wars I have fought 

Gonna take a miracle to save you this time 
And your savior has just left town 
Gonna need a miracle 
'Cause your heart's doing time 
And your conscience is calling you out 
It ain't all for nothing 
Life ain't written in the sand 
I know the tide is coming 
But it's time we made a stand 
With a miracle
