	Story Behind the Song This song could be subtitled... Angels All Around. I was asked to write a spiritual based song for an appearance on a gospel program on cable tv. The first lyric came almost immediately... "I believe in miracles, and I believe in signs... I believe we're living in the fulness of all times." The lyric created its own dillemma however. Now I had to include verses that spoke of a miracle, a sign, and what this "fulness of all times" thing meant. I heard the story about Celeste a few days later. Celeste is the daughter of two of my best friends, Larry and Sylvia Reynolds. It's a true story. She had climbed (unseen) into an open window during spring cleaning and fallen on her head from the second floor onto the sidewalk below. She went into a coma and the doctors fully expected her to die. They were talking about the date they would remove her from life support. Larry gave her a blessing and just poured out his heart. She then opened her eyes. I knew that if I'd ever heard of a modern day miracle, this was one. The other verses then came with amazing ease. Lyrics I believe in miracles And I believe in signs I believe we're living in the fulness of all times To say it isn't true Are the least your words can do If you look around... just look around Celeste is in a coma It's been 27 days The doctors hold no hope for her She'll surely pass away Oh but then her eyes are opened And her parents shed their tears And it's nothing short of a miracle I believe there are angels all around Sent to help us with our lives Some can see them But some of us are blind Just look around... just look around Long ago the rainbow Was given as a sign A promise from our Father To all of humankind No thing of greater beauty can be written in the sky It's a sign of love Oh, but look around I see brother fighting brother And refugees of war And every earthly nation Is marked with evil's scar It can't go on forever Before the trumpet sounds And Jesus comes... and looks around I believe there are angels all around Sent to help us with our lives Some can see them But some of us are blind Just look around... just look around Look around... our hearts are being opened Look around... what are we fighting for? Look around... at all that we've been given Wont you look around? Just look around I believe there are angels all around Sent to help us with our lives Some can see them But some of us are blind Just look around... just look around Look around
