A few weeks ago I was invited to spend the weekend at a friend's cabin. It was such an amazing weekend. I got to meet some incredible people... one of whom - her name is Megan - wrote this song. The first time I listened to it, it gave me the chills and brought tears to my eyes.
I asked her if I could share it with you. She graciously agreed.
Please enjoy the most hopeful love song I've heard in probably ever:
THE MIRACLE OF US - LYRICS
Once upon another time Boy believed That God is kind With his dreams
Dark powers aligned And left those worlds behind Put them aside Those guardians of light
But dreams wouldn’t die Dreaming doesn’t die
They tell him that he’ll survive There’s magic inside Tell him that God is kind And needs him to try
To give up his fear now And learn how to trust And hope for the miracle of us
All of that time Girl was strong and wild and Free and unafraid To simply just believe
That someday she’d find The boy with dreams so wide
But heartaches collide And storms arise Seems that life’s unkind When joy is a surprise
But wild hopes don’t die Wild hopes don’t die
They tell her that she’ll survive Tell her she’ll heal in time Tell her that he’s alive And needs her to thrive
And don’t give up hope now And learn how to trust Believe in the miracle of us
Sometimes things go wrong And hearts can hurt for way too long Others come along To remind us that there is a bright
Dawn and now it’s breaking And light is all around Even though we’re aching There’s truth that we’ve found
We’ve more than just survived This dark and glorious night On this day that we combine The rest of our lives
And when we see the dark again We’ll tell them it’s just A chance to show the miracle that’s us
Ashes to ashes And dust to dust Remember the miracle of us
