[Intro]
Here we go. It's called "Countin' on a Miracle."

[Verse 1]
It's a fairytale so tragic
Ain't no prince to break the spell
I don't believe in magic
But for you I will
Yeah for you I will

[Chorus]
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
To come through
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
To come through

[Verse 2]
There ain't no storybook story
Ain't no never-ending song
Our happily ever afters
Ever come and gone
Ever come and gone

[Chorus]
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
To come through
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miraclе
To come through

[Bridge]
Sleeping beauty awakes from hеr dream
With her lover's kiss on her lips
Your kiss was taken from me
Now all I have is this
All I have is this
Your kiss, your kiss
Your touch, your touch
Your hope, your faith
Your strength, your love
Your dream, your life

[Chorus]
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
To come through
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
To come through

[Verse 3]
I'm running through the forest
With the wolf at my heels
My king is lost at midnight
When the tower bells peal
When the tower bells peal

[Verse 4]
We got no fairytale ending
In God's hands our fate's complete
Your heaven's here in my heart
Our love's this dust beneath my feet
This dust beneath my feet
If I'm going to live I'll lift my life
Darling, to you I'll lift my life

[Chorus]
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
I'm countin' on a miracle
To come through
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle
To come through

[Outro]
Countin' on a miracle

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
