Miracle of Life
Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was born
I was feeling cold
And my soul was torn
I walked alone
In solitude and sorrow
I've been shown
I can see tomorrow
And we were one
A new life found
A new life found
It's a miracle of life
My life has been
A journey full of hop
And all I've seen
Is the end of my rope
We'll I have lost
And I have won
Counting the cost
My Faith was never gone
Then I found you
And we were one
A new life found
A new life found
It's a miracle of life
I've made the sacrifice
Lord knows I paid the price
A Miracle of life
I always had a dream
But it's never what it seems
A miracle of life
So it is time
We were meant to be
Always with you
Always with me
Then I found you
And we were one
A new life found
A new life found
It's a miracle of life
Then I found you
And we were one
A new life found
A new life found
It's a miracle of life
The lyrics of Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force's song Miracle of Life show the transformation of the singer who was once lost, and his journey towards finding a new life. The opening lines, "I was old when I was born, I was feeling cold, and my soul was torn," suggest that he has experienced a lot of emptiness in life, and he's been through difficulties since the beginning. He then elaborates on his journey after being born, walking alone in solitude and sorrow, and how he has seen the end of his rope.
However, he emphasizes that he found hope in life and a new beginning when he met the person he sings about. That person brought him to "see tomorrow," and they become one, creating a new life. The new life he found is referred to as a "miracle of life." The chorus repeats this phrase, reinforcing the feeling of awe and gratitude the singer feels towards the new life he has been given.
The song emphasizes that the singer has made sacrifices and paid a price to get where he is, but in the end, it's all worth it because he's found the person he was meant to be with. The final lines of the song, "Then I found you and we were one, a new life found. It's a miracle of life," suggest a sense of happiness and completeness in the singer's life, that he felt lost before he found the person he sings about.
