Miracles
Jefferson Airplane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)

I might have to move heaven and earth to prove it to you, baby (baby)
So we're making love, you feel the power and I feel the power
And there's really nothing we can't do
(You know we could, you know we could)
If we wanted to
(You know we could, you know we could)
We could exist on the stars, it was so easy.

(Oh Baby)
All we got to do is get a little faith in you.
Woah, I've been so many places I've seen some things (yes I have)
I know that love is the answer (yes it is)
Keeps holding this world together (oh yeah)
Ain't nothing better? Ain't nothing better?(Nothing's better!)
And all the answers to our prayers,
Hell, it's the same everywhere. (just the same now)
Nothing ever breaks up the heart(love's a game now)
only your tears give you away (Ain't it a shame now).

When you're right where I found you(oh baby)
with my arms around you. (oh baby)
Baby, baby.
Love is a magic word if you ever find inner life
But from that very first look in your eyes
I see you and I have but one heart.
Only our bodies were apart (it's making me crazy)
That was so easy, so easy
I had a taste of the real world (Just a drop of it)
When I went down on you, girl, oh

If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)

I can hear windmills and rainbows whenever you talkin' to me
(Never say never)
I feel like swirling and dancing whenever you walk in with me (whenever, whenever you walk with me)
You ripple like the river when I touch you (let me touch you)
Then I pluck your body like a string (show you what I mean)
Then I start dancing inside you (oh baby, a love song)
Oh baby in a love song, aw baby
(love song) aw baby (love song) aw baby (love song)
Oh yeah, yeah, alright
Baby we're sure doin' it tonight (baby we're sure doing it)

Every time you come by let me try (come on by)
Pretty please, with sugar on it, that's how I like it, ugh.
I can't even believe it with you
It's like having every dream I ever wanted
(Dream of a lifetime) come true.
I picked up your vibes, you know (I'm having a fine time)
It opened my mind but I'm still dreaming.
Yeah (yeah eh eh oh)
And you're right where I found you, with my arms around you! (oh baby)

If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)
So would I
So would I

If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)




We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Miracles" by Jefferson Airplane Jefferson Starship Starship describe the power of belief and the magic of love. The singer is urging their partner to believe in miracles and in the power of their love. The song suggests that if both partners truly believe in their love and the miraculous possibilities of the world, then anything is possible.


The lyrics use vivid imagery to illustrate the power of belief, describing windmills and rainbows and the feeling of swirling and dancing when in the presence of the beloved. The singer even suggests that they could exist on the stars if they wanted to. The song celebrates the joy of physical intimacy, with the line "we're making love, you feel the power and I feel the power, and there's really nothing we can't do." However, the most important aspect of the song is its emphasis on the transformative power of love and belief.

We sorta grew up together. God is good, I know where she is. She came to me in a dream not so long ago and she was perfect and she's waiting on me. Praise the lord

This song was popular and played on the radio when my high school boyfriend picked me up for school. I loved him and for over 2 years we dated. 1977 we broke up and found each other in 2010. Been together ever since. Married 5 years ago. Its a miracle!❤
