“Waiting on a Miracle” is the ‘I Want’ song for Mirabel. The musical style is the Colombian bambuco. It’s in ¾ meter, which is rare for a Disney song but also symbolizes the disconnect between Mirabel and the rest of her family. In the song, Mirabel laments how all of her family members have magical...
[Verse 1]
Don't be upset or mad at all
Don't feel regret, or sad at all
Hey, I'm still a part of the family Madrigal
And I'm fine, I am totally fine
I will stand on the side as you shine
I'm not fine, I'm not fine
[Chorus]
I can't move the mountains
I can't make the flowers bloom
I can't take another night up in my room
Waiting on a miracle
I can't heal what's broken
Can't control the morning rain or a hurricane
Can't keep down the unspoken invisible pain
Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle
[Verse 2]
Always walking alone
Always wanting for more
Like I'm still at that door
Longing to shine like all of you shine
All I need is a change
All I need is a chance
All I know is I can't stay on the side
Open your eyеs, open your eyes, opеn your eyes
[Chorus]
I would move the mountains
Make new trees and flowers grow
Someone please just let me know where do I go
I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle
I would heal what's broken
Show this family something new
Who I am inside, so what can I do?
I'm sick of waiting on a miracle, so here I go
[Outro]
I am ready!
Come on, I'm ready!
I've been patient and steadfast and steady
Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago
When you gave us a miracle
Am I too late for a miracle?
Waiting On A Miracle was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Waiting On A Miracle was produced by Disney & Mike Elizondo & Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Stephanie Beatriz released Waiting On A Miracle on Fri Nov 19 2021.
The rhythm of [the song] is in three. It’s three-stringed instruments playing in sort of a waltz time. It’s just a different beat. She’s literally out of beat with the rest of her family.

“Waiting on a Miracle” is Mirabel’s yearning to belong. There’s something that clicks inside her where she realizes the wheels are in motion for her to chase down her destiny. I like these heroine songs so much. You go on this major journey with a character and suddenly you know her better from the...
The “I want” song is always hard. You have to make the whole movie to understand the journey that Mirabel’s got to go on and what the question is going to be, so you have to go at it backwards.
Disney has such an insane legacy of good songs that you have to put that out of your head. What finally u...
Disney has almost cornered the market in this particular type of song. And it’s an intimidating fact, you know? There’s ‘Part Of Your World’; there’s ‘Into The Unknown’; there’s ‘Reflection’ from Mulan; there’s ‘Out There’ from The Hunchback Of Notre Dame; there’s ‘I Just Can’t Wait To Be King’. I c...
