Ordinary


This week we were watching some preparation for a friend's wedding at church, when they played this song: "Ordinary Miracle"by Sarah McLachlan.
I remember hearing it after one of the recent movies, but thats the thing about hearing songs at the movies, i find a song i like but never stay long enough into the credits to look out for the title, either that or i memorize the wrong song title.
Anyways I loved this song very much! Didn't mean to steal the soon bride-to-be's song =p But i liked it so much i wanted to keep it here, in case i forget it again...

Ordinary Miracle


It's not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

Life is like a gift, they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up, and find a way
To give some of your own

Isn't remarkable?
Like every time a raindrop falls
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

The birds in winter have their fling
And always make it home by spring
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
'Cause we are all a part

Of the ordinary miracle

Ordinary miracle

Do you want to see a miracle

It seems so exceptional
That things just turn out after all
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

The sun comes out and shines some bright
And disappears again at night
It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

It's just another
Ordinary miracle today

Dont you think it is so true? No matter how much we whine and complain, no matter how many bad turns and mistakes we repeatedly get ourselves into, at the end of the day our very existence is a miracle.

I've come to realize my life is such a delicate balance, every cut i pulled through, every fall i broke down, and every true friend that has ever walked into my life, sustained me and made me who i am today.

I am the privileged one to be where i am, receive what i have received, i certainly didn't and still don't deserve all this, but it happened to me nonetheless, i was blessed nonetheless.
That is why everyday is a new miracle, not because of great triumphs or winnings, but simply because it "is".
