The Age Of Miracles Lyrics - Age Of Miracles - Mary Chapin Carpenter

The past comes upon you like smoke on the air 

You can smell it and find yourself gone 

To a place that you lived without worry or care 

Isn't that where we all once came from 

Green leaves and tall trees and stars overhead 

And the sound of the world through the screen 

But now you sleep with the covers pulled over your head 

And you never remember to dream 

You think you're just standing still 

One day you'll get up that hill 

In the age of miracles 

Is one on the way 

Greenland is melting, the west is on fire 

But don't ever stop praying for rain 

It's a curious place between hope and desire 

Different gods, but the prayer is the same

And thousand-year storms seem to form on a breeze 

Drowning all living things in their paths 

And when a small southern town finds a rope in a tree 

We're all once again trapped in the past 

It seems we're just standing still 

One day we'll get up that hill 

In the age of miracles 

Is one on the way 

We can fly through space with the greatest of ease 

We can land in the dust of the moon 

We can transform our lives with the tap of the keys 

Still we can't shake this feeling of doom 

But I woke to find monks pouring into the streets 

Marching thousands strong into the rain 

Now if courage comes dressed in red robes and bare feet 

I will never be fearful again

If I'm just standing still 

One day I'll get up that hill 

In the age of miracles, is one on the way 

Seems we're just standing still 

One day we'll ride up that hill 

In the age of miracles 

There's one on the way 

There's one on the way 

There's one on the way 

There's one on the way 

There's one on the way 

There's one on the way
