The Miracle

Early trip up Monte Toro in the hopes of blipping the storm that has been rumbling all night but not quite materialised yet. The convent on the top boasts this enormous statue of Christ and a number of even more enormous communications masts. No luck with any lightning and thought it was probably not the safest place to wait, being the highest point of the island, so beat a retreat. When manipulating this image later I was reminded of this song. Apologies to non-Queen fans but I can't get enough of those guys.


Every drop of rain that falls in sahara desert says it all
It's a miracle
All god's creations great and small
The golden gate and the taj mahal
That's a miracle
Test tube babies being born
Mothers,fathers dead and gone
It's a miracle

We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
The wonders of this world go on
The hanging gardens of babylon
Captain cook and cain and able
Jimi hendrix to the tower of babel
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
It's a miracle

The one thing we're all waiting for is peace on earth - an end
To war
It's a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle we're all waiting for today

If every leaf on every tree could tell a story that would be a
Miracle
If every child on every street had clothes to wear and food to
Eat
That's a miracle
If all god's people could be free to live in perfect harmony
It's a miracle

We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
Open hearts and surgery
(wonders of this world go on)
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
But mona lisa just keeps on smiling
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle

(wonders of this world go on)
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
It's a miracle

The one thing (the one thing) we're all waiting for (we're all
Waiting for)
Is peace on earth (peace on earth) and an end to war (an end
To war)
It's a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle peace on earth and end to war today
