Miracles
Plow Monday Lyrics

My mother told me not to talk to strangers
My mother warned me to not trust people I don't know.

My dad says don't believe what mother says
My father recognized that my mother's advice may not always be accurate.

My brother told me drinking was the answer
My brother believed that alcohol was a solution for something.

My sister told me lies were in his head
My sister believed that someone was delusional.

My daddy made me walk home from school late at night
My father challenged me to continue learning after school, even late at night.

He said learning can't stop when the day is done
My father believed that learning should never stop.

Janie met me out there after school one night
Janie met me outside of school after classes were over one evening.

And said baby, be prepared to have some fun
Janie suggested that we spend time together and have a good time.

Now maybe mom and dad were wrong, and brother, sister too
Perhaps my family members were wrong about their beliefs.

But family never meant as much as you
However, I value our relationship more than anything else.

Do you believe in miracles? Don't you believe?
Do you have faith in miracles and extraordinary events?

I crawled through Janie's window after school one night
I snuck into Janie's house through the window one evening after school.

I felt so cold I knew that she'd be warm
I was feeling lonely and cold, and I thought Janie could provide me with warmth.

Janie said her daddy tucked her in at night
Janie told me that her father was the one who put her to bed every evening.

I thanked her and I knew that we'd been warned
I thanked her and realized we had been caught by her parents.

We ran down to the forest hand in hand that night
We both ran to the forest holding hands that evening.

I pressed her rosy lips against my own
I kissed her lips.

We rolled all through that grass till darkness turned to light
We were lying on the grass rolling around until dawn approached.

And daylight told us we should both go home
We knew it was time to go home when daylight arrived.

Her parents met us on the porch and asked us where we'd been
Janie's parents encountered us on the porch and inquired about our whereabouts.

We didn't say a word, our grass stains turned to sin
We didn't say anything, but our dirty clothes gave away that we had been up to no good.

I never saw her out there after school again at night
I never saw Janie again after school hours.

My brother said they took her far away
My brother claimed that Janie had been taken far away.

I couldn't sleep at all alone again that night
I was unable to sleep that night without Janie beside me.

Without my Janie guiding me towards day
Without Janie, I felt lost and alone, unsure of what direction to take.

I ran down to the bridge above the rocks that night
That evening, I ran to the bridge overlooking the rocks.

I knew that there could be no other way
I realized that there was no alternative.

I said my prayers and readied to dismiss my life
I began to pray and prepare to end my life.

Till I heard Janie's voice across the way, and she'd say
Until Janie's voice called out from the other side of the bridge, and she would say...

Do you believe in miracles?
Do you have faith in miracles?

Don't you believe?
Don't you believe in the impossible?

Do you believe in miracles?
Do you have faith in miracles?

Don't you believe?
Don't you believe in the impossible?
