The Court Of Miracles (lyrics and music by C.R.Lewis) (Sung by Clopin, the King of Thieves:) Here in this Court of Miracles Nothing is ever what it appears to be In the Court, the Court of Miracles There's so much more to things than just what you see These ruined ones used to have no hopes All were facing down the ends of their ropes And these homeless ones all have havens here And the persecuted never need to fear Here among the Miracles, Lame walk and Sightless see In the Court of Miracles, the Beggars are the Royalty Let's have a Miracle, come on and walk on water with me Choose your own Miracle, it can happen if you'll only believe Here we fulfill the old prophecies Teaching those selfish souls the joys of charity And the last are always the first down here The least are the ones most dear Those well-off worse for wear We exhort the rich toward Heaven-high Like the camel through that needle's eye Assisting with their vows of poverty And we meekly reap our own inherent fee In the Court of Miracles, the Voiceless have a say Every devil gets his due, and every dog his day We're making Miracles in a modestly miraculous way Choose your own Miracle and we can make it happen today The stateless gain their state of grace down here And the placeless claim themselves a place down here The waters retain a wine-like taste down here But the real Miracle is surviving the smell here In the Court of Miracles, one can be anything A poor man be a millionaire, a thief can be a king In the Court of Miracles, the spirit of the play's the thing Catch your own Miracle, and you'll keep conscientiously clean You can park your crutches Leave 'em in as much as You didn't really need them The cripples are the ones who don't Come down here They have too much to fear Lepers change their spots here Losers exchange lots here No one puts on limits or labels We only give a helping hand Aid to the self-made man Yeah, that's our plan In the Court of Miracles, you get more than you see There's so much more to Earth and Heaven Than is dreamt in your philosophy Let's have a Miracle, come on and walk on water with me! Chose your own Miracle, it'll happen if you'll only believe In this Court of Miracles, your imagination's the key In the Court of Miracles, we'll resurrect your dying dreams!
