Miracle
Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How could I face another day
It's all of my doing
I made a choice
And today I pay
My heart is full of pain
How could you understand
The way I feel
Seems as though nothing can comfort me
So today I pray
That someone should listen for
[Chorus]
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There's a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don't throw love away
There's a miracle in store
How could I let go of a miracle
Nothing could ever take its place
Thought I was looking
Out for myself
Now it seems the pain
Is all that I have gained
I wonder if I could be your miracle
I wonder if I could spare you pain
Seems as though nothing will comfort me
Less today I pray
That you should come listen
[Chorus]
Don't ever throw away your miracle
Don't let it slip away
Nothing should matter
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston's song "Miracle" talk about the painful consequences of a regretful decision made in the past. The singer wonders how they could've let go of a miracle and how they could face each day with the pain that comes with it. They realize that the situation they're in is all of their doing and that they have to pay for it today with a heart full of pain that nobody could understand or relate to. In spite of their distress, they pray that someone listens to them, indicating that they need someone to share their pain with.
In the chorus, the singer suggests that love is the only thing that matters and that someone should never throw away a miracle. Love, according to them, can change everything and is capable of bringing about miracles. They urge the listener to embrace love and not let it slip away, reminding them that there's always a miracle in store if they hold onto it. In the end, the singer wonders if they could be someone's miracle and spare them the pain that they're going through.

不 要 效 法 這 個 世 界
只 要 心 意 更 新 而 變 化
叫 你 們 查 驗 何 謂 神 的
善 良 純 全 可 喜 悅 的 旨 意 。
〔羅馬書 十二：2〕
但 那 等 候 耶 和 華 的
必 重 新 得 力 展 翅 上 騰
他 們 奔 跑 也 不 睏 倦
行 走 卻 不 疲 乏 。

Many nights we prayed
With no proof, anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now, we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could, whoa, yes
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve?
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
Oh-oh-oh
Mmm, yeah
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer bird
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My hearts so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speakin' words
I never thought I'd say
There can be miracles
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill (Mmm)
Who knows what miracles you can achieve? (You can achieve)
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says, help is very near, oh (Oh)
There can be miracles (Miracles)
When you believe (Boy, when you believe, yeah)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill (Hard to kill, oh, yeah)
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve, oh)
When you believe somehow you will (Somehow, somehow, somehow)
Now, you will (I know, I know, know)
You will when you (When you)
Believe
You will when you (You will when you)
Believe
Just believe (Believe)
Just believe
You will when you
Believe
