The Age Of Miracles - Mary Chapin Carpenter[00:00:00]
The past comes upon[00:00:17]
You like smoke on the air[00:00:19]
You can smell it and find yourself gone[00:00:21]
To a place that you lived[00:00:25]
Without worry or care[00:00:28]
Isn't that where we all once came from[00:00:30]
Green leaves and tall trees[00:00:35]
And stars overhead[00:00:37]
And the sound[00:00:39]
Of the world through the screen[00:00:40]
But now you sleep[00:00:43]
With the covers pulled over your head[00:00:44]
And you never remember to dream[00:00:47]
You think you're just standing still[00:00:51]
One day you'll get up that hill[00:00:55]
In the age of miracles[00:00:59]
Is one on the way[00:01:04]
Greenland is melting [00:01:10]
The west is on fire[00:01:11]
But don't ever stop praying for rain[00:01:13]
It's a curious[00:01:17]
Place between hope and desire[00:01:19]
Different gods [00:01:22]
But the prayer is the same[00:01:23]
And thousand-year storms seem[00:01:27]
To form on a breeze[00:01:29]
Drowning all living things[00:01:31]
In their paths[00:01:33]
And when a small southern town[00:01:34]
Finds a rope in a tree[00:01:37]
We're all once again trapped in the past[00:01:39]
It seems we're just standing still[00:01:43]
One day we'll get up that hill[00:01:47]
In the age of miracles[00:01:51]
Is one on the way[00:01:56]
We can fly through space[00:02:23]
With the greatest of ease[00:02:25]
We can land in the dust of the moon[00:02:27]
We can transform our lives[00:02:32]
With the tap of the keys[00:02:33]
Still we can't shake this feeling of doom[00:02:36]
But I woke to find[00:02:40]
Monks pouring into the streets[00:02:42]
Marching thousands strong into the rain[00:02:44]
Now if courage comes dressed[00:02:48]
In red robes and bare feet[00:02:51]
I will never be fearful again[00:02:53]
If I'm just standing still[00:02:57]
One day I'll get up that hill[00:03:01]
In the age of miracles [00:03:05]
Is one on the way[00:03:09]
Seems we're just standing still[00:03:14]
One day we'll ride up that hill[00:03:18]
In the age of miracles[00:03:23]
There's one on the way[00:03:27]
There's one on the way[00:03:31]
There's one on the way[00:03:36]
There's one on the way[00:03:40]
There's one on the way[00:03:44]
There's one on the way[00:03:49]
