In the beginning was the word
And the word was with God
And God said, "Let there be life"
Life oh life, life is a miracle

It's a miracle every time a mother gives birth
Tell me who can say how much a child is worth
A miracle living on this planet earth
Rotating to the rhythm of the universe

Life, more precious than the rarest stone
More valuable than silver or gold
Life, the essence is invisible
To the scientific mind it's impossible

Like the secret of the seed that grows into a tree
The starry galaxies remain a mystery
Oceans and the seas the air we breathe
God knows that I believe
Life is a miracle

As I turn one page of our history
I see so many great personalities
Like Marcus, Mosiah Garvey, emperor Selassie
And the great Bob Marley
Malcolm X with any means necessary
Martin Luther marching to victory

Mother Theresa, Princess Diana
Even 2Pac, Shakur and the one Daddy Biggie
Well, they will always have a place in our memories
And in time to come you wait and see
They will all get the gift of eternity
God knows that I believe
Life is a miracle

Our heavenly father who art in paradise
We thank you Jah for the gift of life
And though this world is filled with trouble and strife
In time to come it will be worth the price

Life, the journey of experience
By growing we secure our deliverance
Life the phenomenon the prodigy
The marvel of an undiscovered destiny

So let's give thanks to our father above
For all of the wonderful things that he does
Life is the ultimate gift of love
God knows that I believe yes I do
Life is a miracle it's true
