The Miracle Comes

Somewhere in the hemisphere People far away from here Are living right for the first time But you say, "even in our own hometown Still a million ways to be kept down hard to feel too proud" Salvation seems so far from here Maybe we'll come back next year See if everything turned out fine You say, "nothing ever changes here Still caught up in the same old fears Always born at the wrong time" I say, "If you think in terms of centuries For so much of humanity Every generation is a bright line" But is my faith just vanity A prayer against calamities Coming at us from every side When the miracle comes And drags our dirty world into the light Will there be enough love to go round to us all? When the miracle comes Will we find out we waited way too long To burn it down and build it up? Burn it down, build it up A dust bowl don't discriminate The earthquakes never separate The saints from the sinners The saints from the sinners When the miracle comes And drags our dirty world into the light Will there be enough love to go around to us all? When the miracle comes Will we find out we waited way too long To burn it down and build it up? Burn it down, build it up Burn it down, build it up Burn it down, build it up Burn it down, build it up, yeah When the miracle comes Will we find out we waited way too long To burn it down and build it up Build it up Build it up
