Life Is a Miracle - Emir Kusturica and the No Smoking Orchestra

In the beginning was the word And the word was with God. And God said: "Let there be life". Life, oh life! Life is a miracle. It's a miracle every time a mother gives birth Tell me who can say how much a child is worth. A miracle living on this planet earth Rotating to the rhythm of the universe. Life! More precious than the rarest stone More valuable than silver or gold. Life! The essence is invisible To the scientific mind it's impossible. Like the secret of the seed that grows into a tree The starry galaxies remain a mystery. Oceans and the seas The air we breathe. God knows that I believe... Life is a miracle. As I turn one page of our history I see so many great personalities. Like Marcus Mosiah Garvey Emperor Selassie And the great Bob Marley. Malcom X with any means necesary Martin Luther marching to victory. Mother Theresa Princess Diana Even Tupac Shakur And the one Daddy Biggie. Well they will always have a place in our memories. And in time to come you wait and see They will all get the gift of eternity. God knows that I believe... Life is a miracle. Our heavenly father who art in paradise We thank you Jah for the gift of life. And though this world is filled with trouble and strife In time to come it will be worth the price. Life! The journey of experience By growing we secure our deliverance. Life! The phenomenon the prodigy The marvel of an undiscovered destiny. So let's give thanks to our father above For all of the wonderful things that he does. Life is the ultimate gift of love. God knows that I believe... Yes I do. Life is a miracle. It's true.

The rose is pruned to a perfect shape Perfect for whom, I wonder The chicken thinks in mysterious ways But beauty is not what we're after Now the chicken imagines a heaven Full of roosters and plenty of corn And God is a very old rooster And eggs are like Jesus, his son Every day is a miracle Every day is an unpaid bill You've got to sing for your supper Love one another Cockroach might eat Mona Lisa The pope don't mean shit to a dog And elephants don't read newspapers And the kiss of a chicken is hot The brain of a chicken And the dick of a donkey A pig in a blanket And that's why you want me What does it feel like To be your tongue Moving around in your mouth? To be free in the forest of your love A cockroach in the cosmos of your house Every day is a miracle Every day is an unpaid bill You've got to sing for your supper Love one another I'm a blond, a brunette, and a redhead I thought up the birds and the bees My software is famous all over My money is growing on trees The mind is a soft-boiled potato A jewel in a chocolate shell I staple my love to your heart, dear With memories and beautiful smells Every day is a miracle Every day is an unpaid bill You've got to sing for your supper Love one another Every day is a miracle Every day is an unpaid bill You've got to sing for your supper Love one another

Out on the highway a lot of pretty girls go by, But none have been right. Up until today I would never settle down. But you keep coming around And your love is a miracle. It's spiritual. Got here just in time. Your love is a miracle. It's visible. Even to a heart that's blind like mine. Out in the wildlife a lot of people tellin' lies, Lookin' right in your eyes. But up until tonight I was always on the prowl. But now I'm settling down. 'Cause your love is a miracle. It's spiritual. Stands the test of time. Your love is a miracle. It's visible. Even to a heart that's blind like mine. Anyone can see what you're doing to me. And everyone can see that you're everything I need 'Cause your love is a miracle. It's spiritual. Got here just in time. Your love is a miracle. It's visible. Even to a heart that's blind like mine.
