Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Age Of Miracles Lyrics
The past comes upon you like smoke on the airYou can smell it and find yourself goneTo a place that you lived without worry or careIsn't that where we all once came fromGreen leaves and tall trees and stars overheadAnd the sound of the world through the screenBut now you sleep with the covers pulled over your headAnd you never remember to dreamYou think you're just standing stillOne day you'll get up that hillIn the age of miraclesIs one on the wayGreenland is melting, the west is on fireBut don't ever stop praying for rainIt's a curious place between hope and desireDifferent gods, but the prayer is the sameAnd thousand-year storms seem to form on a breezeDrowning all living things in their pathsAnd when a small southern town finds a rope in a treeWe're all once again trapped in the pastIt seems we're just standing stillOne day we'll get up that hillIn the age of miraclesIs one on the wayWe can fly through space with the greatest of easeWe can land in the dust of the moonWe can transform our lives with the tap of the keysStill we can't shake this feeling of doomFound on OldieLyrics.com But I woke to find monks pouring into the streetsMarching thousands strong into the rainNow if courage comes dressed in red robes and bare feetI will never be fearful againIf I'm just standing stillOne day I'll get up that hillIn the age of miracles, is one on the waySeems we're just standing stillOne day we'll ride up that hillIn the age of miraclesThere's one on the wayThere's one on the wayThere's one on the wayThere's one on the wayThere's one on the wayThere's one on the way
