about

This was the first song written for what would become Ping, and the Meet Your Maker storyline was built around it. Despite his own worst intentions, Mason is delivered - as if by a miracle.

lyrics

the sun shines down so hard it's beating me
shell so parched, it's cracked and bleeding
i'm praying ... for a miracle
watching ... for a miracle
waiting ... on the miracle rain

the rain falls scarce in the western desert
it might this year, and it might not ever
i'm hoping ... for a miracle
lost ... without a miracle
aching ... for the miracle rain

fall down, fall down come cover me
upon, around all over me
within, without, be part of me

it's been so long since i've tasted water
chased that dream, and i never caught her
(still) i'm hoping ... for a miracle
begging ... for a miracle
longing ... for the miracle rain

the field, my soul, so dry and barren
i've laid down want, i've laid down care and
i'm praying ... for a miracle
gone ... without a miracle
dying ... for the miracle rain

fall down, fall down come cover me
upon, around all over me
within, without, be part of me

hope lay dead, but again it's stirring
revival as the horizon's blurring
i'm staring ... through a miracle
pelted ... by a miracle
soaking ... in the miracle

fall down, fall down come cover me
upon, around all over me
within, without, be part of me

drinking from the miracle rain
wonder at the miracle rain
laughing in the miracle rain
singing in the miracle rain
swimming in the miracle rain
revel in the miracle ...
