Magic and Miracles (Live)

from Moonstruck by Chantelle Ritzert

about

A song for young mothers.

lyrics

Do you remember way back in those years
When the summer was high and we had nothing to fear
Magic and Miracles were one and the same
There were stallions to run with and lions to tame

Nothing could break us or turn us around
It was a long way to heaven, and a longer way down
Too much of something was nothing at all
and we were trying to fly, no matter how much we fall

Back when mothers were mothers and daughters and wives
We'll remember those days for the rest of our lives
But too many kisses were lost in the night
Until daughters became mothers whose mothers were right

But nothing could break them or turn them around
It was a long way to heaven, but it's longer back down
Too much of something was nothing at all
and they were trying to fly, but they only could fall

Until one little girl with her head in her hands
Asking nothing but truth, and changing all of your plans
A second chance child with your face and your name
She'll be making believers out of sinners and saints

Singing nothing will break us or turn us around
It's a long way to heaven, but it's longer back down
Too much of something is nothing at all
And you can't learn to fly if you're too scared to fall

Years will go by and she'll remember her youth
With a mother who loved her and taught her the truth
That magic and miracles are one and the same
And a mother shares more than a face and a name

Angels will guide her and sing her a song
Of a mother who loved her and did her no wrong
Holding the future in the warmth of a womb
A memory not made yet, but she's coming soon

And nothing will break her or turn her around
She will fly up to heaven and never come down
A lifetime of pleasure and passion and pain
She will wash it away in the warm summer rain

Too much of something is just something more
And she'll fly on your wings and together you'll soar.
