It's a Miracle
Culture Club & Boy George Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guns that cross the street
You never know who you might meet
Who's in disguise
Ooh as you blow a storm
There's no one there to keep you warm
It's no surprise there's something in my eyes

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
And dreams are made of emotion

Dance with the counterfeit
The plastic smiles and micro heat
I'll meet you there, I'll meet you there
Run to the edge of town
Where Hollywood lay its footprints down
Monroe was there but do you really care

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
And dreams are made of emotion

Cry it's a miracle
Cry it's a miracle
Cry it's a miracle
Cry it's a miracle

Guns that cross the street
You never know who you might meet
Who's in disguise, who's in disguise
Ooh as you blow a storm
There's no one there to keep you warm
It's no surprise there's something in my eyes

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
And dreams are made of emotion

Wooh, ba ba doo, ba ba doo, ba ba doo, yeah huh hoo, hoa
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
(It's a miracle) and dreams are made of emotion
It's a miracle




(It's a miracle) and dreams are made of emotion
(It's a miracle) made of emotion (it's a miracle), and dreams are made of emotion, yeah

Overall Meaning

Culture Club's "It's A Miracle" is a song that delves into a world of mystery, disguise, and excitement. The lyrics talk about guns that cross the street, people in disguise, and a storm that blows, leaving no one to keep you warm. It paints a picture of an unpredictable world full of unexpected encounters and where nothing can be taken for granted. The singer notes that there is something in his eyes, perhaps insinuating that he sees things that others don't, or perhaps he's talking about tears from the unpredictable nature of life itself.


The chorus of "It's A Miracle" repeats the phrase, "It's A Miracle," six times, emphasizing the extraordinary nature of life and the many wonders it possesses. The song suggests that dreams are made of emotion, which could mean any number of things. Perhaps it means that everything we encounter in life, whether positive or negative, contributes to the human experience and shapes what we dream about.


The second verse introduces the listener to the world of Hollywood, a place where magnificent things can happen. It references Marilyn Monroe, a timeless figure who continues to fascinate people even decades after her death. The verse suggests that even though Monroe is gone, there's still wonder to be found in that part of town. The singer invites the audience to run to the edge of town, overrun by Hollywood's footprints, where mysteries and adventures await them.

I'm Japanese. When this song became popular, i worked in the middle of Tokyo near the Imperial Palace. How Nostalgic! Now, the new emperor's throne is approaching.The new emperor's era name is Reiwa. Reiwa means beautiful peace. May the world be covered in peace!
