the miracle (of joey ramone)

i was chasing down the days of fear

chasing down a dream before it disappeared

i was aching to be somewhere near

your voice was all i heard

i was shaking from a storm in me

haunted by the spectres that we had to see

yeah i wanted to be the melody

above the noise

above the hurt. i was young

not dumb

just wishing to be blinded

by you

brand new

and we were pilgrims on our way

i woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred

heard a song that made some sense out of the world

everything i ever lost

now has been returned

in the most beautiful sound i'd ever heard. we got language so we can't communicate

religion so i can love and hate

music so i can exaggerate my pain

and give it a name

i was young

not dumb

just wishing to be blinded

by you

brand new

and we were pilgrims on our way

i woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred

heard a song that made some sense out of the world

everything i ever lost

now has been returned

in the most beautiful sound i'd ever heard. we can hear you

we can hear you

we can hear you

i woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred

i get so many things i don't deserve

all the stolen voices will someday be returned

the most beautiful sound i'd ever heard

your voices will be heard

your voices will be heard
