Miracle

It's a miracle whenever I hear your name
I can't help but think it's okay
And It's a miracle whenever I say your name
I can't help but think I'm okay

Just 5 years older than me, he was twenty years old on October 15th
I never thought I'd see the day when we're both the same age
But I rose early in the morning and I didn't see him sleeping
The thought had entered my mind that he wasn't okay
But I get worried all the time and I had school that day
So I just brushed it off my shoulders and went on my way
Yet HERE WE ARE again, what can I say

ONLY DO NOT REBEL AGAINST THE LORD
In disbelief, I FALL BY THE SWORD
I HAVE PARDONED ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD
AS I LIVE in awe of the LORD

Another day goes by another night I wake
To REMEMBER my life and rekindle my pain
Till December arrives and I'm FACE TO FACE with
My new life on his birthday

It's a miracle whenever I hear your name
I can't help but think it's okay
It's a miracle whenever I say your name
I can't help but think I'm okay

After my brother passed I never thought I'd see the day
Where I would be okay
I just lost someone who meant the most to me
And then a girl who's close to me asked me to go to church
I said I'd go and see knowing she lost her mom as old as me

Yet HERE I AM, so to speak, AS THEY REJOICE
I WASTE AWAY, I WASTE AWAY
WOE IS ME
Half-hearted, cold feet, yet HE SPOKE to me
FACE TO FACE THE LORD IS SEEN
HOW LONG will you have WAITED for me

And it's hard
Days I don't feel like waking up or driving this far
Mornings that I feel like giving up before they start
People always say "I feel a difference on your part"
I wonder if you can fill the missing piece of my heart

And BY THE HANDS of grace, you pulled me
Outstanding over me, with my head down
You SPOKE to me and said out loud
DON'T LOOK BACK, don't look back

A couple nights, a couple days go by
I don't cry, I don't lie awake, I sleep at night
I sleep tight but I never thought to ask why
No, I never thought to ask why

Was it the guy in the sky or hallucinations alike
Is it a lie? I find questions like
Why is this happening now
And how can I stay high when my guilt is weighing me down
21 questions I've been praying a loud

Cause look around me my family's drowning
Too deep in their memories that they can't live without him
Yet somehow I found my peace in the sea that surrounds them
While they sink to their misery I just PEAK the mountains

It's a miracle (It's a miracle)
Whenever I hear your name (Your name, your name)
I can't help but think, it's okay (Its okay)
And It's a miracle whenever I say your name (Whenever I say your name)
I can't help but think, I'm okay (I'm okay)
