Miracle
Andrew De Silva Lyrics

When I was young I was a dreamer
Andrew De Silva had a lot of aspirations as a young lad

There was a teacher
He had a particular inspiration in his teacher

She said, "Whatcha wanna be?"
The teacher asked Andrew about his dreams

I could see the picture
He had a clear picture of what he wanted to become

But I didn't tell her
But he decided not to tell his teacher

One day you will see (one day you'll see)
He believed that one day his dream will come true

I would sit around for hours
Andrew spent a lot of time contemplating his future

Wondering how the world would sing along with me
He had the dream of becoming a musician and playing to a worldwide audience

With the guitar in my hand
He imagined himself playing guitar

In my imaginary band
He pictured himself in a band, although it was all in his imagination

I was happy, it was my destiny, so
He was content with his dreams, and he believed it was meant to be

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh whoa,
This is a way to express the singer's emotions

Where did all your wishes go?
He's questioning where his dreams have gone

When you were happy, it was a destiny, so
He believes his happiness was part of his destiny

If I could believe (like a child, like a child)
He wishes to believe without doubts like he did as a child

Money still would grow trees (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
He believes in the simplicity of life, where even money could grow on trees

And if I was allowed to dream (like a child, like a child)
He wishes to be free and dream like a child without any limitations

Then maybe I would see a miracle
All he needs is to believe and dream to see his miracle

Now I'm back inside the schoolyard, my child is sweeter,
Andrew is now older and has his own child

She said, "We'd always be friends"
His child promised to be his friend forever

She made me a brace that I keep inside a shoebox
His child made a gift he always kept as a memory

Sometimes I think about where it all went
Andrew is questioning where his dreams vanished

It was the first time I learnt that nothing lasts forever in this world
He learned about the transience of life from his personal experiences

I heard she got married, a baby now she carries
His friend now has a baby and is happily married

She's happy, oh she's happy, yeah
The imagery of his happy friend brings joy to Andrew

So where do all the promises go (tell me where they go)
Andrew is questioning where all the promises eventually end up

When you were happy, we were happy, yeah
He misses the times when everyone was happy

Maybe one day we will know (maybe one day) (one day)
The hope that one day they will understand the nature of promises

Still I'm happy
He's still happy with his life

Take my hand, lead me
He needs someone to guide him

So I can't stop to live my childhood dream (I wanna go, I wanna go)
He wants to live the dream he had when he was a child and never give up

A miracle (I wanna see a miracle)
He wants to see a miracle happen in his life

Maybe I would see (maybe I would see) a miracle
He repeats his hope of seeing a miracle

If I open my eyes, would I see (like a child, like a child)
He's wondering if he could still see the world like a child

If I could live like a child, would it be (like a child, like a child)
He wishes to live a life without any inhibitions like a child

(money money money money) (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) (money money, money money)
Repetitive line about money growing on trees, showing his admiration for simpler things

(yeah, yes for one day) (like a child, like a child)
He wishes to live without any doubts and restrictions for a day

Then maybe I would see (maybe I would see) a miracle
He believes that by living without restrictions or doubts, he can see the miracle
