It's a Miracle

It’s a Miracle 


And if by chance you should survive
And turn your eyes
And see the great sky
Of heaven

And think to yourself

I am alive !

God must have a purpose
For everyone
Including me

It’s a miracle

Praise the Lord !

I am alive !

Thank you God……………


Yep

Tell that to

The three million six hundred Jews

Tell that to the gates of Auschwitz

Tell that to the latest and the next raped child

Tell it to three hundred years of ***** slavery

Tell it to the North American Indian

Tell it to The World Trade Centre  

Tell it to The Khmer Rouge and Kampuchea 

Tell it to The Killing Fields

Tell it to Rwanda

Tell that to the starving in Biafra

Tell it to the racial cleansing and rape camps of Bosnia

Tell it to the dead of Two World Wars

Tell it to Nagasaki and Hiroshima 

Tell them it’s a miracle

And their luck just ran out
