A Hundred Million Miracles (Original Cast Recording)

My father says that children keep growing
Rivers keep flowing, too
My father says he doesn't know why
But somehow or other they do

They do
Somehow or other they do

A hundred million miracles
A hundred million miracles are happening every day
And those who say they don't agree
Are those who do not hear or see
A hundred million miracles
A hundred million miracles

Are happening every day

Miracle of changing weather

When a dark blue curtain is pinned by the stars
Pinned by the stars to the sky
Every flower and tree is a treat to see
The air is very clean and dry
Then a wind comes blowing the pins all away
Night is confused and upset
The sky falls down like a clumsy clown
The flowers and the trees get wet

Very wet
A hundred million miracles
A hundred million miracles are happening every day

And when the wind shall turn his face
The pins are put right back in place

A hundred million miracles
A hundred million miracles are happening every day

In every single minute so much is going on
Along the Yellow River or the Tiber or the Don

A hundred million miracles

A swallow in Tasmania is sitting on her eggs
And suddenly those eggs have wings and eyes and beaks and legs

A hundred million miracles

A little girl in Chungking, just thirty inches tall
Decides that she will try to walk and nearly doesn't fall

A hundred million miracles
A hundred million miracles
A hundred million miracles
A hundred million miracles
A hundred million miracles are happening every day

A hundred million miracles
A hundred million miracles are happening every day
My father says the sun will keep rising
Over the eastern hill
My father says he doesn't know why
But somehow or other it will

It will
Somehow or other it will
