“I Wait for a Miracle” by Jane
Kozhevnikova
I wait for a miracle as we all rejoice, I wait for a miracle raising up my voice. When stars are shining bright, A miracle on a winter night.
Soon the doors will open wide, And the bells will start ringing out, There will be peace here inside Getting cozy by the fireplace now
I wait for a miracle as we all rejoice, I wait for a miracle raising up my voice. When stars are shining bright, A miracle on a winter night.
Soon my friends will all come home, It will get quiet on the streets, Postcards showing us how time has flown, And all the winds go to sleep.
I wait for a miracle as we all rejoice, I wait for a miracle raising up my voice. When stars are shining bright, A miracle on a winter night.
When grandma makes her pie, When family comes home, When love restores all
I wait for a miracle as we all rejoice, I wait for a miracle raising up my voice. When stars are shining bright, A miracle on a winter night.
