Life is a Miracle

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.

This song is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard lately and so I decided to share it with my readers. The lyrics are absolutely amazing. When I was driving down the coast yesterday I was listening to this song and I started to think about my best friend from college and her one year old daughter. I remember meeting my best friend on her 30th b-day and as we went for a walk through the neighborhood, she told me “you know what’s amazing about seeing the world through the eye’s of a baby, it’s like you are seeing everything for the first time. The simplest things are amazing. When I blink my eyes she looks at me and is so captivated thinking “wow, that’s so cool.” I guess we often get so caught up in the world we live in we really do forget that everything in our lives is really is a miracle. Happy Friday from the Skool of Life.
