Miracle River - Michael McDonald, Judy Collins

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

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
