Missing the Miracle - Alanis Morissette

You call it bright

And I call it simple

And somewhere in the middle is truth

You see the hill

And I see the castle

Our front that was united is doomed, ooh

You call this brick and mortar

I call this sacred skin

You see the figure skater

I fear the ice is thin and

The light is all around us

But when we spar, it’s dim

We’re right here in the middle

Missing the miracle

You see the cloud

And I see the lining

And somewhere in the middle is sun

And you say it’s greatness

And I say bad timing

And when we leave the ring, no one’s won, ooh

I go for the jugular

You knock till you get in

You hold the loud and raucous

And I hear the dropping pin and

You run all front and center

I whisper paper thin

We’re right here in the middle

Missing the miracle

The winter gets long

The rapids get white

And what doesn’t kill us

Turns to grey

You call this brick and mortar

I call this sacred skin

You see the figure skater and

I fear the ice is thin and

The light is all around us

But when we spar it’s dim

We’re right here in the middle

Missing the miracle

Missing the miracle

(The light is all around us)

Missing the miracle

(The light is all around us)

Missing the miracle
