Maureen McGovern Ordinary Miracles lyrics

Change can come on tiptoe
Love is where it starts
It resides, often hides
Deep within our hearts

And just as pebbles make a mountain
Raindrops make a sea
One day at a time
Change begins with you and me

Ordinary miracles
Happen all around
Just by giving and receiving
Comes belonging and believing

Every sun that rises
Never rose before
Each new day leads the way
Through a different door

And we can all be quiet heroes
Living quiet days
Walking through the world
Changing it in quiet ways


Ordinary miracles
Like candles in the dark
Each and every one of us
Lights a spark

And the walls can tumble
And the mountains can move
The winds and the tides can turn

Ordinary miracles
One for every star
No lightning bolt or clap of thunder
Only joy and quiet wonder

Endless possibilities
Right before our eyes
See the way a miracle multiplies

Hope can spring eternally, plant it and it grows
Love is all that's necessary
Love in its extraordinary way
Makes ordinary miracles every blessed day
