Miracle

by Alex Ebert

on I vs I (2020)

Papa
Uh-huh?
Why're you always talking about like, life and death?

Death is the reason for poetry
I know it be slow to be understood totally
But you knew it this ? be counterintuitive
Ludicrous no freedom is freedom don't doubt this ?
Don't be afraid just be you totally
Openly
This shit is painful
?
Go to sleep
Tomorrow the road'll be waiting
Hopefully

Miracle
I'm a living
Miracle
Living
Motherfucking miracle

One in a million chilling you out
Miracle child

Then I hear my daughter ask
Papa tell me,why do we die?
Ooh, I think she felt my suicide
She asked, Do mountains crumble?
I say, Yes babe, just like you and I
She say, Yeah, but do the blue in our eyes vanish
Just like the blue in sky when the night comes
?
Damn that's deep
I held her tight
I say yes babe
We decompose to feed the roses
But you know why?
They blooming out
Your tomb and mine
Pops, that's sad
She said
But I guess I always knew inside
I laughed and said
That's how you know you're truly mine
My little student
?
She didn't cry
She just said
Pops, read me that Rumi rhyme
Some major wisdom out of ?
For you and I
Are forever where we truly lie
Forever
Together
Illumini

Miracle
I'm a living
Miracle
Living
Motherfucking miracle

One in a million chilling you out
Miracle child

Hah
Rise
Rise
Rise
Rise

Nothing is alive
Nowhere is ?
Noone is a ?
Nothing is ?

Three times
Three times
