MIRACLE
Words music by Shane ‘Rizon’ Gibson

Do you know who you are in the sight of the King?
I wish you knew....yeah
See, once there’s life, there’s hope for me and you.

Check it...
I'm a drunk, I'm a punk, I’m a thief, I am you
And ah feel what you feel, 'cause ah weak
When ah hungry, need to eat; when ah sleepy, need to sleep
And if things was lickle different, woulda be me out in de streets, yeah
I could never condemn and say dat I’m not like dem
'Cause under different circumstances... well
Coulda be me up in de cell, coulda be me going through hell
Listen close, ah have some stories to tell.

See now I'm moving on to where I belong 'cause I know
I am a miracle just like you, yeah-yeah
I am a miracle [just like you]
And though I've done some wrong,
You see I won't stay down 'cause I know
I am a miracle just like you, yeah-yeah
I am a miracle [just like you].

It wasn't crack cocaine dat put me out on de streets
But ah feel it might be crack cocaine dat keep me here
Ah searching for release, but these streets not fair
So when ah beg a little money, pretend you care
I wanna do right, I wanna do right,
But in your brightest day, all I see is night
And when you lose your zeal for life
Saying "No" to drugs is the hardest fight.

Still, I'm moving on to where I belong 'cause I know
I am a miracle just like you, yeah-yeah
I am a miracle [just like you]
And though I’ve done some wrong,
You see I won't stay down 'cause I know
I am a miracle just like you, yeah-yeah
I am a miracle.

Ooooh yeah [I am a miracle just like you]
Ooooh yeah [I am a miracle just like you]...

I was touched once or twice as a child, no lie
My house was his everyday route as a child
And I wonder why Ma never abort me
'Cause when ah speak de truth, mih family never support me
"Hush yuh little lying mouth!" so ah shut it
At the age of 12 ah find ah razor blade so I could cut it
'Cause I reason, if it gone he cyah touch it
But I'm ah big man now so everybody better watch it
My heart, so cold, cyah budge it
My eyes, blood red, fill buckets
And if yuh memories never mek yuh vomit
Then I suggest you be still and stop judging.

See, I'm moving on to where I belong 'cause I know
I am a miracle just like you, yeah-yeah
I am a miracle [just like you]
And though I’ve done some wrong
See, I won't stay down 'cause I know
I am a miracle just like you, yeah-yeah
I am a...

Ooooh yeah [I am a miracle just like you]
Ooooh yeah [I am a miracle just like you]...

I am a miracle [just like you, yeah yeah]
I am a miracle [ just like you, yeah yeah]

I am a miracle [just like you, yeah yeah]

I am a...

Cancer patient [I just like you, yeah-yeah]
HIV patient [I just like you, yeah-yeah]
Homeless person [I just like you, yeah-yeah]
Broke and lonesome [I just like you, yeah-yeah]
Prison inmate [I just like you, yeah-yeah]
Drug addicted [I just like you, yeah-yeah]
AIDS afflicted [I just like you, yeah-yeah]
Just evicted...

Check it...

I am a miracle just like you, yeah-yeah
I am a miracle just like you, yeah-yeah
I am a miracle just like you, yeah-yeah
I am a miracle just like you, yeah-yeah

A Note From The Gull


Thank you, Rizon.    

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
