The Age Of Miracles

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Transposer:

[Intro]   D#   D#sus4   D#  (x4) [Verse 1] The past comes upon you like smoke on the air  You can smell it and find yourself gone To a place that you lived without worry or care Isn’t that where we all once came from Green leaves and tall trees and stars overhead And the sound of the world through the screen But now you sleep with the covers pulled over your head And you never remember to dream [Chorus] You think you’re just standing still One day you’ll get up that hill In the age of miracles There’s one on the way [Verse 2] Greenland is melting the west is on fire But don’t ever stop praying for rain It’s a curious place between hope and desire Different gods but the prayer is the same And thousand-year storms seem to form on a breeze Drowning all living things in their paths                                                                                   And when small southern town finds rope in tree We’re all once again trapped in the past [Chorus] It seems we’re just standing still One day we’ll get up that hill In the age of miracles There’s one on the way [Solo]                        #     [Verse 3] We can fly through space with the greatest of ease We can land in the dust of the moon We can transform our lives with the tap of the keys Still we can’t shake this feeling of doom But I woke to find monks pouring into the streets Marching thousands strong into the rain Now if courage comes dressed in red robes and bare feet I will never be fearful again [Chorus] If I’m just just standing still One day I’ll get up that hill In the age of miracles There’s one on the way   (minimal chords) Seems we’re just standing still One day we’ll ride up that hill In the age of miracles There’s one on the way      There’s one on the way     There’s one on the way      There’s one on the way     There’s one on the way           There’s one on the way

La chanson évoque un voyage entre passé et présent, où les souvenirs d'innocence et de beauté se mêlent à la réalité troublante d'aujourd'hui. Elle souligne notre connexion à la nature, à nos rêves et à l'espoir, même face à des défis comme les catastrophes environnementales ou la violence sociale. L'artiste invite à la prière et à l'action, nous rappelant que malgré les épreuves, des miracles sont toujours possibles et qu'un changement est en route. C'est un appel à ne pas abandonner nos rêves et à croire en la possibilité d'un avenir meilleur.
