Miracle
Above & Beyond/Oceanlab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What they're harming with their indecision
But who will be left standing when I'm gone?
There'll be nothing left but a vision
It's too easy to turn a blind eye to the light
It's too easy to bow your head and pray
There are some times when you should try to find your voice
Are you hoping for a miracle,
As the ice caps melt away?
No use hoping for a miracle
There's a price we'll have to pay
Don't they know that there's something they can do
To be sure of tomorrow's tomorrow
And too late is too late for me and you
No more time left for you to borrow
It's too easy to turn a blind eye to the light
It's too easy to bow your head and pray
There are some times when you should try to find your voice
This is one voice that you must find today
Are you hoping for a miracle
Am I still there in your plans
No use hoping for a miracle
There's a price we'll have to pay
Are you hoping for a miracle
Are you hoping for a miracle

The chorus asks if we are hoping for a miracle as the ice caps melt away, and reminds us that there is a price to pay if we continue to ignore the problem.
The second verse reminds us that there is something we can do to ensure a better tomorrow, but time is running out and there is no more time left to borrow.

THIS was trance for me when I began spinning in 2007. I came from 1999 and worked my way up from Ian Van Dahl, DJ Sammy, Tiesto during his trance days, Ferry Corsten during his FIRE days and of course Paul Van Dyke. So glad this inspired me to pull my decks out

The song embodied what was happening to the world. Now it seems like it’s the farthest thing from their minds. As long as gas is under 4 dollars that’s all we seem to care about. Where I now live no one cares and even you mention smog or emissions they look at you like you’re speaking in tongues. Sad that nearly 20 yrs later how our integrity to this planet had melted away just as the I’ve caps.

There is no better music for raw emotion and connection to love than trance! It's as simple as that

Dude this song has so much more meaning than purely taking care of nature. There's a spiritual side/meaning to this song that's super deep and so true.
