Small Miracles

Been watching the days of my life rolling by
Been taking for granted each precious one
But yesterday our sorrows they fled
Realised how small my world had become
Sandy's arms wrapped tight around her waist
I saw a new world in Rosie's eyes shine
Heard her laugh with delight and saw the joy in her face
Tried to recall when it last shone in mine

The miracles come both great and small
The smallest can be the greatest of all

Sandy's wheelchair flew at breakneck speed
A full five miles an hour down the drive
Rosie danced on Sandy's knees
Shouting out her joy at being alive
And all of us there on that sunny afternoon
Who watched her small miracle unfold
Heard the echo in our hearts of creation's joyful tune
That sings in each and every human soul

Miracles come both great and small
The smallest can be the greatest of all

Been watching the days of my life rolling by
Been taking for granted each precious one
But yesterday our sorrows they fled
Realised how small my world had become
We spend our lives seeing only what we want to see
But never think of ourselves as blind
We start our lives trying to be what others want us to be
Never see ourselves as crippled or confined

But of all the people there that I knew
Rosie was the only one who flew

Of all the people there that I knew
Rosie was the only one who flew
