Judy Collins - Miracle River Lyrics
They say that when you get there
That's when the real magic starts
Go through the plains of desire
Past the waterfall of sparks
Ten thousand burning deserts
But it's less about arriving
Than the journey to miracle river
Some live for the sparkle of the water
That will heal their achin' souls
Turn back the restless hands of time
And make their broken spirits whole
But sometimes promises of love are sweeter
Than the visions they deliver
So bless the good and the bad
When you're finally free
You will see
The diamond's a child of the mine
Not just a prize you saved
From the jaws of fate
It was in your heart all the time
When you finally reach your destination
Fall down on your knees and thank your maker
For all the crosses and the blessings
On the journey to miracle river
Every heartbeat is a piece in the puzzle
We're all here to solve
You can face it or just turn away
But either way one day
You'll see it all
Oh winding in the distance
Like shimmering molten silver
It will wash away the shadows
Of your journey to miracle river
When you're finally free
You will see
The diamond's a child of the mine
Not just a prize you saved
From the jaws of fate
It was in your heart all the time
When you finally reach your destination
Fall down on your knees and thank your maker
For all the crosses and the blessings
On your journey to miracle river
For all the loves and the losses
On the journey to miracle river

They say that when you get there
That's when the real magic starts
Go through the plains of desire
Past the waterfall of sparks
Ten thousand burning deserts
Will weed the taker from the giver
But it's less about arriving
Than the journey to miracle river
Some live for the sparkle of the water
That will heal their achin' souls
Turn back the restless hands of time
And make their broken spirits whole
But sometimes promises of love are sweeter
Than the visions they deliver
So bless the good and the bad
On the journey to miracle river
When you're finally free
You will see
The diamond's a child of the mine
Not just a prize you saved
From the jaws of fate
It was in your heart all the time

Fall down on your knees and thank your maker
For all the crosses and the blessings
On the journey to miracle river
Every heartbeat is a piece in the puzzle
We're all here to solve
You can face it or just turn away
But either way one day

Oh winding in the distance

It will wash away the shadows
Of your journey to miracle river
When you're finally free
You will see
The diamond's a child of the mine
Not just a prize you saved
From the jaws of fate
It was in your heart all the time
When you finally reach your destination
Fall down on your knees and thank your maker
For all the crosses and the blessings
On your journey to miracle river
For all the loves and the losses
