lyrics

Like a Miracle
(Skaith/Jones)

The wine you spill, the bread you steal
The European sick you heal
The crown of thorns that you can't feel
The table sags with you last meal …

It's like a miracle
A miracle we've come this far
It's like a miracle
Miracle and then some more …
From the manger to this abattoir

And the coloured glass and the piles of stones
The clicking beads like dialing tones
The incense scent in smokeless zones
The noise, the praise, the fevered moans …

It's like a miracle
A miracle we've come this far
It's like a miracle
Miracle and then some more …
From the manger to this abattoir

It's miraculous that we've all lasted
Deserted, starved, unfed and fasted
You left us hungry and unsustained
We planted grain
But it just rained, it rained and it rained and it rained

The unmade road and the son of Cain
The fallen women raised again
The ranters, ravers we call sane
The pious souls of Bloemfontein

It's like a miracle
A miracle we've come this far
It's like a miracle
Miracle and then some more …
From the manger to this abattoir

The mitre hat, and the shepherds' crook
The true believers you forsook
The carnival, the bloody book
The lamb hangs butchered from a hook

It's like a miracle
A miracle we've come this far
It's like a miracle
Miracle and then some more …
From the manger to the abattoir
