Lyrics

Sleepy town, West Virginia, where the men go down.
Strike a living in that cold old ground.
It's a miracle they found.
So I' told, in that deep and dark old dirty hole,
A tiny spark that made that mine explode,
Come from lightning down the road.
There they lay, in a cave behind a barricade.
Trying to share the air not be afraid.
For a miracle they prayed.
Miracle...Lord, we need a Miner Miracle.
Just a tiny little miracle...
Save the miners in that hole.
Miracle...just a tiny little miracle.
Lord, we need a Miner Miracle.
Save the men and save my soul.
Up above, there's a vigil in a church of love.
Mother, brother, friend, and lover of...
Every miner in that cave.
Now they say: "They're alive and they'll all be okay!"
Sing and dance and laugh and hug and play,
It's a miracle they're saved.
Then they say: "It's a miner miscommunique...
A dozen miners won't be home today.
Throw your miracle away."
Miracle...Lord, we need a Miner Miracle.
Just a tiny little miracle...
Try to help us understand.
Miracle...just a tiny little miracle.
It's the finest of all miracles...
Twelve new angels in your hand.
