Eric Bogle Small Miracles
Been watching the days of my life rolling by Been taking for granted each precious one But yesterday our sorrows they fled Realised how small my world had become Sandy's arms wrapped tight around her waist I saw a new world in Rosie's eyes shine Heard her laugh with delight and saw the joy in her face Tried to recall when it last shone in mine
The miracles come both great and small The smallest can be the greatest of all
Sandy's wheelchair flew at breakneck speed A full five miles an hour down the drive Rosie danced on Sandy's knees Shouting out her joy at being alive And all of us there on that sunny afternoon Who watched her small miracle unfold Heard the echo in our hearts of creation's joyful tune That sings in each and every human soul
Miracles come both great and small The smallest can be the greatest of all
Been watching the days of my life rolling by Been taking for granted each precious one But yesterday our sorrows they fled Realised how small my world had become We spend our lives seeing only what we want to see But never think of ourselves as blind We start our lives trying to be what others want us to be Never see ourselves as crippled or confined
But of all the people there that I knew Rosie was the only one who flew
Of all the people there that I knew Rosie was the only one who flew
