Geddy Lee, Rockline, May 13, 2002: “I think Sweet Miracle was the second song we wrote for this album. This came from the very earliest parts of the writing sessions, and it just happened. The lyrics I felt were very moving, and the melody just came out of me.”
[Verse 1]
I wasn't walking on water
I was standing on a reef
When the tide came in
Swept beneath the surface
Lost without a trace
No hope at all
No hope at all
[Chorus]
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle of life
[Verse 2]
I wasn't walking with angels
I was talking to myself
Rising up to the surface
Raging against the night
Starless night
[Chorus]
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Love's sweet miracle of life
[Bridge]
Oh salvation
Oh salvation
Oh salvation
Oh salvation
[Verse 3]
I wasn't praying for magic
I was hiding in plain sight
Rising up from the surface
To fly into the light
Into the light
[Chorus]
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle of life
[Chorus]
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Love's sweet miracle of life
