Life Is A Miracle - Pato Banton

In the beginning was the word

And the word was with God.

And God said: «Let there be life».

Life, oh life!

Life is a miracle.

It’s a miracle every time a mother gives birth

Tell me who can say how much a child is worth.

A miracle living on this planet earth

Rotating to the rhythm of the universe.

Life!

More precious than the rarest stone

More valuable than silver or gold.

Life!

The essence is invisible

To the scientific mind it’s impossible.

Like the secret of the seed that grows into a tree

The starry galaxies remain a mystery.

Oceans and the seas the air we breathe.

God knows that I believe…

Life is a miracle.

As I turn one page of our history

I see so many great personalities.

Like Marcus Mosiah Garvey

Emperor Selassie

And the great Bob Marley.

Malcom X with any means necesary

Martin Luther marching to victory.

Mother there’sa

Princess Diana

Even Tupac Shakur

And the one Daddy Biggie.

Well they will always have a place in our memories.

And in time to come you wait and see

They will all get the gift of eternity.

God knows that I believe…

Life is a miracle.

Our heavenly father who art in paradise

We thank you Jah for the gift of life.

And though this world is filled with trouble and strife

In time to come it will be worth the price.

Life!

The journey of experience

By growing we secure our deliverance.

Life!

The phenomenon the prodigy

The marvel of an undiscovered destiny.

So let’s give thanks to our father above

For all of the wonderful things that he does.

Life is the ultimate gift of love.

God knows that I believe… Yes I do.

Life is a miracle.

It’s true.
