[INTRO – SOFT PIANO, DISTANT HEARTBEAT, YOUNG FEMALE VOICE] I was seventeen when I discovered broken things could mend. A touch could close a thousand wounds, a breath could make a heart begin. Doctors called it impossible. Nurses whispered, “God above…” I just thought it was something everybody should have. They called me Miracle. I liked the name. [VERSE 1 – GENTLE, HOPEFUL] I learned to fly above the rooftops, past the windows in the rain, found a thousand little tragedies beneath fluorescent panes. Children with paper bracelets, mothers praying through the night, minds at war with their owners, people losing every fight. I'd slip inside at midnight, lay my hands upon the ill, and give back what life had stolen, heal what medicine couldn't heal. [PRE-CHORUS – BUILDING] By morning, they were calling it a miracle cure. I never asked for payment. I just went back for more. I never wanted money, never wanted fame. I only thought that saving lives was living up to my name. [CHORUS – SOARING ROCK] I'm Miracle! I can mend what you cannot see! Give a dying heart another chance to beat! Lift the broken, set the suffering free! So tell me why the world is coming after me? I'm Miracle! I don't need your money or your praise! I just wanted fewer funerals, a little less pain! But apparently there's a price for taking suffering away. [VERSE 2 – DARKER, DRIVING] The hospitals lost millions. Investors watched them bleed. No more lifelong prescriptions, no more profitable disease. Insurance firms were drowning in the claims they couldn't make. Boardrooms called emergency sessions. Their empire stood to break. They called me an economic threat, a menace to the trade, a thief who stole the future of the fortunes they had made. [PRE-CHORUS 2 – TENSION] They said I'd undermined the doctors, endangered public health. Then the government announced: “An unidentified minor, operating outside the law, is wanted for questioning and capture. A substantial bounty will be paid.” [CHORUS – BIGGER, ANGRIER] I'm Miracle! The nightmare of the men upstairs! The reason all their shareholders are suddenly saying prayers! I healed the people they were billing, cured the people they insured. Now the greatest threat to public safety is a girl who brings a cure! I'm Miracle! Put a price upon my head! Call me criminal and dangerous for the people I have saved! [VERSE 3 – HALF-TIME, COLD] They prepared a list of charges: Impersonating medical professionals, practicing without a license, theft of anticipated earnings from the patients who survived. Hospitals demand compensation for the living they've retained. Insurance firms want damages for the claims they never paid. They'll call my healing interference, they'll call my kindness theft. Somewhere in a courtroom they'll explain how saving lives is a crime against their wealth. [BRIDGE – QUIET PIANO] Sometimes I wonder if I'm foolish, if I should have stayed away. If I'd known what they would do, would I have saved them anyway? I remember little Emma, tumors disappearing from her head. She hugged me when she woke and said she wasn't scared. I remember all the mothers who no longer had to grieve. If they lock me underground, at least I know I helped them breathe. And I'd do it all again. [BREAKDOWN – DISTANT EXPLOSION, HEARTBEAT] Wait... Someone's here. [VERSE 4 – DARK, RHYTHMIC] He's standing on the rooftop, a silhouette against the moon, barely older than myself, with a bounty to pursue. He says he's been tracking me, that there's no need to fight. I tell him there are children who still need me tonight. He says, “I'm sure there are. But you're coming with me alive.” [PRE-CHORUS – BUILDING] I rise above the rooftop. He rises just the same... He catches me mid-flight. And for the first time since this all began...I am terrified... [FINAL CHORUS – HUGE, DESPERATE] I'm Miracle! But I cannot make him bleed! I cannot heal a world that doesn't want to be relieved! I'm Miracle! But my gift won't keep me free! What good is saving everyone if no one comes to rescue me? I can heal a thousand broken hearts, make the dying whole, but what can I do against a boy who's come to profit from my soul? [OUTRO – PIANO AND HEARTBEAT] He's reaching for my wrist. I see the city lights below. I could fly away... but I don't know where to go. He says, “Don't make this harder.” I look into his eyes. He's just a kid, like me. Just a boy who wants the prize. Will they let me heal the prisoners? Will they ever let me out? [FINAL WHISPER] My name is Miracle. Please... Don't make me stop.
