Nothin’ But a Miracle Lyrics : Barbara Bald and Chris George, Music , Chris George

Strolling down the dirt road with a song in my head
Come up to the crossing of the old creek bed
Hear the distant voices of coyotes’ howl
See the silent shadow of the great horned owl

I’ve been by the river skippin’ stones,
wantin’ and a waitin’ for some time alone.
Can’t imagine nothin’ better than this,
just another day that can’t be missed.

(Chorus)


Turtles are a baskin’ on the logs
Watching for the tadpoles to turn into frogs
Can’t say that I noticed all this before
Nature’s invitation right outside my door

Cows, they are a’grazin in the field,
chewin’ and a’blinkin’ at a sun-kissed meal.
Hawks, they are a soarin’ high above,
driftin’ on the thermals and stirrin’ up love.

(chorus)

Fish, they are a’leapin’ in the brook.
If I weren’t so lazy, I’d bait my hook.
How’d I get so lucky to have this day,
nothin’ but a miracle is what I say.


Chorus:


"Join me by the river as the day nods to the night"
“Listen for the loon call at the dimming of the light”
"Laugh and sing a joyful tune of life's undying beat"
"Take my hand and dance with me as all my cares retreat".
