A Hundred Million Miracles

A Hundred Million Miracles - Original Broadway Cast

Composed by：Richard Rodgers

My father says that children keep growing

Rivers keep flowing too

My father says he doesn't know why

But somehow or other they do

They do some how or other they do

A hundred million miracles

A hundred million miracles are happ'ning ev'ry day

And those who say they don't agree

Are those who do not hear or see

A hundred million miracles

A hundred million miracles are happ'ning ev'ry day

Miracle of changing weather

When a dark blue curtain is pinned by the stars

Pinned by the stars to the sky

Ev'ry flow'r and tree is a treat to see

The air is very clean and dry

Then a wind comes blowing the pins all away

Night is confused and upset

The sky falls down like a clumsy clown

The flowers and the trees get wet

Very wet

A hundred million miracles

A hundred million miracles are happ'ning ev'ry day

And when the wind shall turn his face

The pins are put right back in place

A hundred million miracles

A hundred million miracles are happ'ning ev'ry day

In ev'ry single minute so much is going on

Along the Yangtse Kiang or the Tiber or the Don

A hundred million miracles

A swallow in Tasmania is sitting on her eggs

And suddenly those eggs have wings

And eyes and beaks and legs

A hundred million miracles

A little girl in Chungking just thirty inches tall

Decides that she will try to walk and nearly doesn't fall

A hundred million miracles

A hundred million miracles a hundred million miracles

A hundred million miracles

A hundred million miracles are happ'ning ev'ry day

A hundred million miracles

A hundred million miracles are happ'ning ev'ry day

My father says the sun will keep rising

Over the eastern hill

My father says he doesn't know

Why but somehow or other it will

It will somehow or other it will
