lyrics

There's a girl in the dark waiting for a light to shine;
She's waiting for a celestial sign;
She's waiting to be free.
All the hurts from her past have taught her every man wears a mask,
Have taught her to believe love can't last,
That's all that she can see.

She won't let you close, no she won't let you in,
She'll just turn away.
But look in her eyes and you'll see that she needs you to stay.

(Chorus)
I know she needs a miracle to believe.
I know she needs a miracle to believe,
I know she needs a miracle to believe.

Yeah, she'll tell you she's torn, confused and battered
So lost and forlorn her faith is shattered
And oh! what a storm rages through her soul.
Slapped straight down to the floor, she hides her colors
And watches the door, suspecting others will hurt her once more
If she doesn't play her role.

She wants to be loved and she wants to believe,
But her fear's too strong
And how could she ever survive if she finds out she's wrong.

(Chorus)
I know she needs a miracle to believe.
I know she needs a miracle to believe,
I know she needs a miracle to believe.

I am only a man with scars and bruises
I do what I can without excuses
But how could I ever be everything that she needs?
When I look at my heart, I see all the pieces are broken apart
My fear increases, 'cause if I fail, she's the one who bleeds.

But I won't close my eyes, no I won't close my heart,
I won't turn away
I'll fight down my demons, I'll pay any price and I'll stay.

I know her wounded heart needs a reprieve
I know she needs a miracle to believe.
I know that her miracle is me.
I know that her miracle is me.

Pete Grubbs Brookville, Pennsylvania

I started performing music when I was 6, turned pro at 20ish & spent well over 30 years tracking down as many gigs a month as possible. While those days are behind me, I'm still making calculated noise. My music lives where rock, classical, folk, blues & parody hang out. Oddly enough, one of their favorite haunts appears to be in collections of my songs--you'll find a bit of each on every track. ... more
