Miracles
I.L. WIll Lyrics

Jesus walked upon the water; man walked on the moon
Historical events seen as miracles

Now the world needs another miracle
People are waiting for the next big event that will redefine what is possible

1903 fly high in the aeroplane and 1904 where the Novocain numbs the brain
Innovations in technology and medicine

And 1906 getting cleaner getting cleaner
Improvements in sanitation

Sucked into 07 by this thing called a vacuum cleaner
Household advancements

1914 bam they're going crazy in Japan for the thirty five thirty five millimeter and 1916 Albert’s mind is off the leash E=mc squared, was he smoking hashish
Scientific and cultural discoveries

1912 the ship goes down 1914 the worlds out of hand all this negative negative negative foreshadowing the end of the century
Global events leading up to World War I

1928 a new dizisco television it's all right 'cause there's a new cure penicillin.
More technological and medical advancements

1932 fun I got a radio my worlds upside down gonna cruise into the sun
Radio and entertainment advancements

1934 life's such a bore maybe we should try this thing they call the drive-in theatre
New leisure opportunities

1943 the year of LSD the year of LSD the year of LSD
The rise of counterculture and experimentation

1945 the year of the bomb boom our intelligence can lead us to our doom
The atomic bomb and the fear of destruction

1946 the year of the computer the year of the bikini mamma mia fettuccini
Computers and popular culture

1949 ya we'll take ya higher we'll take you higher with the super music amplifier
Advancements in music technology

1952 Mr. Potato head gets a sex change do you find it strange do you find it strange its up to what we innovate
Social commentary on gender roles and the power of innovation

Beatles in America 1964 Lucy so high in the sky with diamonds 1969 69 69 a lunar landing and man was walking on the moon
Cultural milestones that captured the world's imagination

1978 science getting crazy we got rows and rows of these test tube babies the worlds already complex don't you find
Scientific advancements that raise ethical questions

1979 a rubric cube to bend your mind
Solving complex puzzles and challenges in the modern world

1988 RU486 are you pro-life or choice ya what's you philosophy
Controversial medical advances that spark debate

1993 finally humanity comprehends blends appartheid ends
Social progress and the end of apartheid in South Africa

1997 colony dolly with the clones down the future all be jolly
The cloning of Dolly the sheep and future possibilities

2001 the towers fall have learned anything at all have we learned anything at all
Major tragedies and the need for continued learning and compassion

Jesus walked upon the water; man walked on the moon now the world needs another miracle
Repeating the opening phrase to emphasize the ongoing human desire for miracles

Jesus walked upon the water; man walked on the moon now the world needs another miracle
Repeating the opening phrase to emphasize the ongoing human desire for miracles
