Story Behind The Song
Prior to the birth of my two identical twin daughters they were diagnosed with Twin to twin transfusion syndrome. I had know idea what it was but by the look of the Dr's faces it was not good. I wrote miracles one night when I came up with an amazing progression. We were in a ultra sound appointment and the nurse put a probe up to Kristen's stomach and you could hear and see the two girls moving around. The beginning of the sound sounds like the twin girls heart beats and then the guitar progression starts the song. The lyrics just came out in one sitting. The first line, "listen to the waves, and all that lies in you, every ounce of life, were gonna see this through. When the nurse would put the probe on Kristen's stomach a wave electogram would trace across the screen. it was very soothing to hear and see the trace and also the shadows of the girls fully formed bodies struggling to make it to 36 weeks.

Lyrics
listen to the waves
and all that lies in you
every ouce of life
were gonna see this through
in everything I am
in everything youll be
with you only love
miracles to be
awake each day to see
all I have in two
awake each day to see
your eyes are so brand knew
an open to door to life
you fight to make it through
and here you will find our love
waiting for you.
