Wish for a Miracle
Russell Allen & Jorn Lande Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What on Earth makes you believe
The rescue will come now
What on Earth is that you have heard

A savior on his way to you
Coming out of nowhere
A knight in shinig armour
Saving your life

Taking care of your strife

You can run and hide
Wait for better times
Until the dark clouds pass by
And you hear no more cries
You can tell more lies
Pretend that no one lives
And just think happy thoughts
Close your eyes and wish for a miracle

You can't escape the truth no more
You can not fool yourself
No one will listen to your stories again

Only you can make a change
Create a better time
Only you can save your own life
And keep up your strife

You can run and hide...

Overall Meaning

The song concludes with the idea that hope must come from within, and that only we can make the changes necessary to improve our own lives.

Overall, the lyrics of Wish For A Miracle are a call to action to stop waiting for someone else to come and save us. Instead, we must take responsibility for our own lives and create positive change.
