[verse 1] She was a runaway teen when her boyfriend left the city Pregnant at sixteen she had no time for self-pity Working day and night as a waitress in a bar
[verse 2] It's hard to do things right but she never blamed God when the baby cried at night She was thankful for what she got And every night she prayed "I still believe in miracles"
[chorus] and I wonder how she can make it on her own but then she smiles and says: "I'm not alone He's always with me and you know? I still believe in miracles"
[verse 3] "Nothing is impossible" is what the doctors said "but chances are small, your baby's health is so bad... Nothing we can do You need a miracle"
[chorus] and I wonder how she never seems to lose her mind but then she smiles and says: "I may be deaf or blind, mute or cripple but you know? I'll still believe in miracles"
[verse 4] The last time that I saw her, the same child by her side She said she met a good guy This time she got it right she said: "Life's been good to me I still believe in miracles"
[chorus] and I don't know how she made it through the years of pain But then she smiles and says: "I can't complain He's always with me and you know? I still believe in miracles"
"I still believe in miracles" She just smiles and says "I may be deaf or blind, mute or cripple but you know? I'll still believe in miracles"
Miracles sometimes live in a small place: a fine song with a wonderfully compelling guitar threesome and a convincing story about a teenage mother who refuses to give up. About the power of faith, 'I Still Believe In Miracles', the new song by singer-songwriter Eric Geurts offers us sparkling guitar playing and inspired lyrics, and after listening to a song like this you know it will all work out fine 'if you believe in miracles'.
