Written by Michael Jantzen and Eric Macdonald

lyrics

On my driftwood bench watching you,
Skipping like a calf let loose
Your little bare feet must’ve found a new tune
Tossing dollars from the ocean blue
The salty wind nipping at your heels
Had no chance of catching you
Cause you were lost in perpetual motion like a spinning wheel
A little glimpse of heaven to help your father heal

You took me home away from home
Lost in your make-believe
Till I found myself again on Miracle Beach

Playing hard in the eye of a hurricane
Not a thought of the world all in pain
You didn’t seem to mind it was threatening rain
To you it was a perfect day
Look what the tide brought in for you
Oh pick up that big moonsnail
So many creatures beneath each boulder, a world all brand new
With eyes wide open you took away my blues

You took me home away from home
Lost in your make-believe
Till I found myself again on Miracle Beach

When you feel like a bird behind four walls
And you can’t seem to make flight at all
Oh head down to the shore and put your toes in the sand
And remember this gentle call
How the clouds bowed out for you
They saw your shadow ten feet tall
And I wrote this song of how you became my long lost muse
When your wings are broken, may it bring you healing too

And take you home away from home
Lost in your make-believe
Till you find yourself again on miracle beach

And take you home away from home,
Lost in your make-believe
May you find your home again
Find your home again
Find your home again
On miracle beach
