Miracles can happen any place, any day
From Beijing to Argentina---
I heard of a man who threw his crutches away
And did the Macarena.

Miracles have happened
And miracles happen still,
So just because nobody ever loved me
Doesn't mean nobody will.

Joseph diagnosed old Pharaoh's dream,
Robert Fulton suddenly invented steam,
And both George Bushes got to be chief supreme,
Miracles do happen.

Miracles have happened
And miracles happen still,
So just because nobody ever loved me
Doesn’t mean nobody will.

Moses goes and parts the raging Sea,
Manna falls from heaven as the Hebrews flee
And that’s the way that matzo balls came to be---
Miracles do happen.

Miracles have happened
And miracles happen still,
So just because nobody ever loved me
Doesn’t mean nobody will.

Shakespeare’s classic plays and Dickens’ prose,
Mickey Mantle’s forearm and Nijinsky’s toes,
And what of Michael Jackson’s most recent nose?
Miracles do happen.

Miracles have happened
And miracles happen still,
So just because nobody ever loved me
Doesn’t mean nobody will.

Walls came tumbling down at Jericho,
Samson smashed up temples when his hair would grow,
And Anna Nicole Smith had a TV show---
Miracles do happen.

Miracles have happened
And miracles happen still,
So just because nobody ever loved me
Doesn’t mean nobody will.

They say Athena sprang from Zeus’ head
And Lazarus was resurrected from the dead,
Well, perhaps I’ll get invited to someone’s bed---
For miracles do happen
Yes, miracles do happen.
