Discover the story of the song > Miracle – the cast of roald dahl’s matilda the musical

The song is about parents who think that their children are special and unique, often calling them "miracles." The children also think highly of themselves and believe they can do anything, including being a soldier and punching people. However, when Matilda's parents find out that she is a girl, they are disappointed and think she is a "lousy little worm" and a "jumped-up little germ." Despite this negativity, the song ends by affirming that every life is a miracle, even if some people don't think so.
