Originally rising to fame as lead singer in the Christian rock band, Messenger, formed in 2010, he became a favorite during the early auditions of American Idol. Dixon auditioned in the tenth season, along with his sister Schyler, at the Nashville auditions. However, neither of them ended up in the Top 24. After he was sent home, Dixon performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on March 3, 2011.
Dixon returned in season 11, however he did not plan to audition, initially planning to merely accompany his sister Schyler to her audition. The judges implored Dixon to audition as well, where he sang David Cook's "Permanent". Both he and Schyler were awarded golden tickets. Schyler was cut yet again during the Las Vegas round, which brought him to tears.
On February 23, 2012, Dixon was placed in the season 11 Top 25. In the semi-finals, he performed Paramore's "Decode". He was one of the top five male vote getters and advanced into the Top 13.
Miracles
Colton Dixon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every day moving so fast
Taking all the wrong ways out
Never saw you coming
Stopping me in my tracks
Keeping me from the long way down
Doesn't matter just how many times I tried
So tell me
How do miracles just happen like that?
Happen like that, happen like that
You can say the stars align but
I know that it's more than timing
How do miracles just happen like that?
Happen like that, happen like that
Right before I hit the ground some
How You came along and found me, ooh, ooh
Right before I hit the ground some
How You came along and found me
Some will say it's magic
But I know that You did all that
You're the reason, there's no doubt
Doesn't matter just how many times I tried
There could only be a single reason why
So tell me
How do miracles just happen like that?
Happen like that, happen like that
You can say the stars align but
I know that it's more than timing
How do miracles just happen like that?
Happen like that, happen like that
Right before I hit the ground some
How You came along and found me, ooh, ooh
Right before I hit the ground some
How You came along and found me
There's no doubt when I feel Your love
Call me crazy and out of touch
But I know that it's from above
Tell me
How do miracles just happen like that
Happen like that, happen like that
You can say the stars align but
I know that it's more than timing
How do miracles just happen like that
Happen like that, happen like that
Right before I hit the ground some
How You came along and found me, ooh, ooh
You can say the stars align but
I know that it's more than timing, ooh, ooh
Right before I hit the ground some
How You came along and found me
The first verse of Colton Dixon's "Miracles" is about the singer's life before he found the person who changed everything for him. He mentions how he was moving too fast and taking all the wrong ways out, but then someone unexpected came into his life and stopped him in his tracks. This person kept him from taking the long way down and helped him turn his life around. The singer is in awe of this miracle, and wonders how it happened.
In the chorus, Dixon questions how miracles can just happen like that, and wonders if it's more than just the stars aligning at the right time. He knows that the person who found him was the reason for the miracle, and he can't help but be grateful for it. In the second verse, Dixon acknowledges that some people might say it was magic, but he knows that it was this person that made the miracle happen.
The bridge of the song is a declaration of the singer's unwavering faith in the power of love from above. He acknowledges that others may label him as crazy, but he knows that the miracle was a result of something greater than coincidence or magic.

This song has great our theme song. My husband suffered a stroke last week. It could've been a lot worst but GOD showed up and done another Miracle!!!!!
@foreveralways6015
I am standing in agreement with you Cassandra believing God for a Supernatural Miracle of Healing. You husband still has work to do. He is part of God's end time army. He has been anointed and appointed to advance God's Kingdom and to destroy the plans of the enemy.
