Change can come on tiptoe,
|
Love is where it starts
|
It resides,
|
Often hides
|
Deep within our hearts
|
|
And just as pebbles make a mountain,
|
Raindrops make a sea
|
One day at a time
|
Change begins with you and me
|
|
Ordinary miracles
|
Happen all around
|
Just by giving and receiving
|
Comes belonging and believing
|
|
Ev'ry sun that rises
|
Never rose before
|
Each new day
|
Leads the way
|
Through a diff'rent door
|
|
And we can all be quiet heroes,
|
Living quiet days
|
Walking through the world
|
Changing it in quiet ways
|
|
Ordinary miracles
|
Like candles in the dark
|
Each and ev'ry one of us lights a spark
|
|
And the walls can tumble
|
And the mountains can move
|
The winds and the tides can turn
|
|
Ordinary miracles,
|
One for ev'ry star
|
No lightning bolt or clap of thunder,
|
Only joy and quiet wonder
|
|
Endless possibilities,
|
Right before our eyes,
|
See the way a miracle multiplies
|
|
Hope can spring eternally,
|
Plant it and it grows
|
Love is all that's necessary,
|
Love in its extraordinary way,
|
Makes ordinary miracles ev'ry blessed day!
