TOUCHING HANDS

I can't make a miracle today.
This is just a friendly hand along the Way.
I can't stop the storm clouds. I can't stop the wars.
But we can still touch hands, mine and yours.
I don't have a miracle today.
I don't have a magic word to say.
I believe that miracles can be,
but sometimes learning lessons is the need.
A miracle might take the chance away -
to learn what we must learn - day by day.
Chorus
I don't have a miracle today.
Just a song to sing along the Way.
Just some words to offer to remind,
there is Purpose even in these times.
No - I don't have a miracle today.
This is just a friendly hand along the Way.

Sometimes a miracle is just a seed.
Sometimes a small thing serves to answer need.
Sometimes simple faith can light the Way,
when we don't have a miracle today.
Even through the troubles of our times,
we can still touch hands, yours and mine.

So-friend, let's share a moment now together.
Let's touch hands, whatever be the weather.
Though storm clouds hover, or the troubles come,
we can face the days - one by one.
The miracle may be in learning how,
we can all touch hands - here and now.
Chorus
Though I don't have a miracle today.
I may have a message anyway.
If these words can help us to recall,
how much we need each other - one and all -
we can make a miracle today,
just by touching hands - along the Way.
...just by touching hands - along the Way...
