BROKEN MIRACLES

[Intro] The light still knows my name... Even when I don't. [Verse 1] There's a halo hanging from a telephone wire Swinging slow above a sleeping town Every prayer I ever buried in the backyard Blooms into silence without a sound I wear tomorrow like a borrowed jacket Sleeves too long for these trembling hands Trying to stitch the sky with broken thread While the stars forget the plans [Pre-Chorus] If I'm falling... Why does it feel like flying? If I'm fading... Why are the colors brighter now? [Chorus] Broken miracles— Still they bloom beneath my feet Every fracture learns to sing Every ending learns to breathe Broken miracles— Lift me through the open blue I'm descending into light Finding all I never knew Oh-oh-oh... carry me higher Oh-oh-oh... through the fire Broken miracles... Broken miracles... [Verse 2] I found my footprints underneath the snowfall Glowing softly where the rivers froze Every shattered promise grew into a forest Only heaven knew how far it'd grow Close my eyes— The darkness isn't empty It's collecting every piece I lost Like birds returning home before the morning Never counting what it cost [Pre-Chorus] If I'm breaking... Maybe that's what makes me open If I'm changing... Maybe I was never broken [Chorus] Broken miracles— Still they bloom beneath my feet Every fracture learns to sing Every ending learns to breathe Broken miracles— Lift me through the open blue I'm descending into light Finding all I never knew Oh-oh-oh... carry me higher Oh-oh-oh... through the fire Broken miracles... Broken miracles... [Bridge] Don't be afraid Of the beautiful collapse The earth is only opening To let another sunrise pass Don't be afraid Of becoming someone new The sky has always broken first Before it turned this blue So let the silence speak Let the echoes find my voice If the world falls out beneath me I'll still have this choice [Instrumental Build] (Fingerpicked acoustic guitar slowly disappears beneath bowed strings, felt piano, shimmering hammered dulcimer, granular vocal chops, swelling synth pads, and layered falsetto "ahh" harmonies rising like a distant choir.) [Final Chorus] Broken miracles— Every heartbeat turns to gold Every shadow leaves behind Another story still untold Broken miracles— I was never truly gone Every tear became a river Every river found the dawn Oh-oh-oh... lift me higher Oh-oh-oh... I'm still climbing Broken miracles... Broken miracles... [Outro] If I disappear... Find me in the light. If the world forgets my name... The stars will still remember. Broken miracles... Are still miracles.
