hands on a miracle

June 10, 2010

having kids is one of the most earth-shattering, life-altering, turn-your-world-upside-down kind of experiences. it inspires this crazy dichotomy of feelings and emotions: utter amazement from something so innate, natural. intense pride while being humbled every single day. going from worrying about everything to caring about nothing else. having blinding hope for these little peoples' future, yet a longing to hold onto each precious moment now.

when dave grohl of the foo fighters had his first kid, he penned this song in honor of violet, his "miracle." i love the ultimate contrast of this indie rocker with a penchant for gutteral screams and spitting (we've seen them twice, and yes, i do swoon when he does both) singing poetically about how this baby changed his entire perspective on life.

"miracle"

crazy, but i believe this time

begging for sweet relief

a blessing in disguise

i'm dying behind these tired eyes

i've been losing sleep

please come to me tonight

hands on a miracle

i got my hands on a miracle

believe it or not

hands on a miracle

and there ain't no way, that you take it away

everything that we've survived

it's gonna be alright

just lucky we're alive

got no vision

i've been blind

searching everywhere

you're right there in my sight

hands on a miracle

i got my hands on a miracle

believe it or not

hands on a miracle

and there ain't no way, that you take it away

hands on a miracle

i got my hands on a miracle

believe it or not

hands on a miracle

i got my, hands on a miracle

and there ain't no way, that you take it away

take it away

kids.

reflections of us. yet different. unique. individuals. brilliant. silly. sponges. chatty. pure. sweetness. full of life. and light.

mine. to mold. to have. to hold. to fashion. to teach. to learn from. to squeeze. to grab onto. to pick up. to let go of...and to never let go.
