Miracles - Coldplay

by Matthew Whalen

The Experience: Why do we live and the others didn't? Making it through the war until the end...If I can take it I can make it. It could take a miracle. So do you think there's some kind of grand plan? Do you believe in miracles? 

Music video: Still waiting. 

The Meaning of Miracle: The song reflects the feelings of Louis Zamperini in a place where you would expect to only find hatred and despair: the Japanese POW camps of WWII. But hope endures, waiting for a miracle. And a miracle did happen, as will be seen when the film Unbroken (based on the true story of Louis Zamperini). 

Ask yourself: Do I believe in miracles? Do I believe that there's some kind of grand plan, and does this give me strength to do great things? 

LYRICS:

From up above I heard
The angels sing to me these words
And sometimes, in your eyes
I see the beauty in the world

Oh, now I'm floating so high
I blossom and die
Send your storm and your lightning to strike
Right between the eyes.

Sometimes the stars decide
To reflect in puddles in the dirt
When I look in your eyes
I forget all about what hurts

Oh, now I'm floating so high
I blossom and die
Send your storm and your lightning to strike
Right between the eyes
And cry

Believe in miracles
Miracles

Oh hey, I'm floating up above the world now
Oh hey, I'm floating up above the world now
