about
Miracles sometimes live in a small place: a fine song with a wonderfully compelling guitar threesome and a convincing story about a teenage mother who refuses to give up. About the power of faith, 'I Still Believe In Miracles', the new song by singer-songwriter Eric Geurts offers us sparkling guitar playing and inspired lyrics, and after listening to a song like this you know it will all work out fine 'if you believe in miracles'.
lyrics
[verse 1]
She was a runaway teen
when her boyfriend left the city
Pregnant at sixteen
she had no time for self-pity
Working day and night
as a waitress in a bar
[verse 2]
It's hard to do things right
but she never blamed God
when the baby cried at night
She was thankful for what she got
And every night she prayed
I still believe in miracles
[chorus]
and I wonder how
she can make it on her own
but then she smiles and says:
"I'm not alone
He's always with me and you know?
I still believe in miracles"
[verse 3]
Nothing is impossible
is what the doctors said
"but chances are small,
your baby's health is so bad...
Nothing we can do
You need a miracle"
[chorus]
and I wonder how
she never seems to lose her mind
but then she smiles and says:
"I may be deaf or blind,
mute or cripple but you know?
I'll still believe in miracles"
[verse 4]
The last time that I saw her,
the same child by her side
She said she met a good guy
This time she got it right
she said: "Life's been good to me
I still believe in miracles"
[chorus]
and I don't know how
she made it through the years of pain
But then she smiles and says:
I can't complain
He's always with me and you know?
I still believe in miracles
I still believe in miracles
She just smiles and says
"I may be deaf or blind,
mute or cripple but you know?
I'll still believe in miracles"
