Hi,
This is a song that fundamentally centers on a father figure giving guidance, and a warning, to his son, to recognise that the value he has to offer the world comes from within. Unlike, the father, who felt that his value came from without and is now unable to change.

I fell apart, You couldnʼt read my mind
Pre-Chorus 1I feel high, I feel low
One night down on Broadway
Too far, too soon
This is why they say
Chorus 1Aim high, open your eyes
Youʼre holding a miracle
For all to see
Verse 2Standing alone, lights in my eyes
Wearing the clothes of an emperors fool

This night down on Broadway
Too far, too soon
This is why i say

You're holding a miracle
For all to see yeah

Youʼre holding a miracle

Iʼve swallowed bitter medicine
If you were in my place, youʼd read my mind
All these words they fit me still
They never change, they never will
Even if I try with all my heart

You're holding a miracle
For all to see ....yeah.
