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

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.

God I messed it up again, I seem to do this all the time Can you forgive me one again, or have I finally crossed the line? They say Your grace is always with me and You're near me all the time If that's the case I pray sincerely that Your love is truly blind The people on the outside watching me follow the crowd Find a way out You know Something on the inside's pushing me without a doubt So I'm letting it go I'm never always right and it's plain to see You love me Jesus, It's a mystery You know my faults, You know my wrongs And You still love me God I know that you exist, I've been told a thousand times But my friends they all insist that the truth is just a lie You see the lives that they all live seems like a party all the time The temptations I resist, because it's You I glorify The people on the outside watching me follow the crowd Find a way out You know Something on the inside's pushing me without a doubt So I'm letting it go I'm never always right and it's plain to see You love me Jesus, It's a mystery You know my faults, You know my wrongs And You still love me Let everything that I do or say reflect You in every way Your way Never always right and it's plain to see You love me Jesus, It's a mystery You know my faults, You know my wrongs And You still love me Never always right and it's plain to see You love me Jesus, It's a mystery You know my faults, You know my wrongs And You still love me You love me Jesus, It's a mystery You love me Jesus, It's a mystery

There's a Bible on the dresser And a sign hung on the door And a woman in my arms who shouldn't be I'm to the point of no returning But I've been here before This cheating life is nothing new to me There's someone to be considered So I call her on the phone And say the job is taking longer than I planned I don't have the heart to tell her That a stranger's turned me on And I'm headed for the broken promise land Tonight I'm crossing over And I'll reach the cheating side And I'll hate myself for coming here again Where the streets are paved with misery And lives are built on lies A place they call the broken promise land I found a note left on the dresser And a key left in the door And on the floor I found her golden wedding band Guess she finally had to tell me She's not waiting anymore She's headed for the broken promise land Tonight she's crossing over And she'll reach the cheating side And I'll hate myself for giving her the chance 'Cause the streets are paved with misery And lives are built on lies A place they call the broken promise land And it's more than I can stand
