ABOUT/MEANING: “Miracle” celebrates the extraordinary value of the people who remain beside us through an unpredictable life. Rather than imagining a miracle as an impossible event or sudden transformation, the song finds it within meaningful relationships: meeting someone, sharing ordinary days together and discovering that their presence gives you the strength to continue towards tomorrow.
This gives the song’s optimism a grounded quality. Life will not always unfold as hoped, and the future remains uncertain, but having people with whom to face that uncertainty changes how frightening it feels. The miracle does not remove life’s difficulties; it is finding someone you do not have to face them without.
Within minisode 3: TOMORROW, this gives deeply personal meaning to the album’s themes of promises and connection. “I’ll See You There Tomorrow” looks towards a promised reunion, while “Deja Vu” remembers a connection that has endured across distance and time. “Miracle” turns towards the value of connection itself: beyond the promise of where two people might eventually arrive, simply finding someone with whom to share yesterday, today and tomorrow can already feel miraculous.
“Miracle” is also deeply autobiographical, drawing directly from the relationship between TXT’s five members. While working on the song, Taehyun asked each of the other members what they considered the greatest miracle in their everyday lives. All four independently gave essentially the same answer: having the other four members beside them.
Taehyun later echoed the same sentiment:
“Life doesn’t always go as you want, and that’s the same for everyone. But… even within that, something I think of as my biggest blessing and biggest miracle is that I met these four people. I think that because I have these four people with me, I’m no longer afraid of anything.”
Soobin similarly reflected on how years of being together had made the members’ constant presence feel almost ordinary. After hearing Yeonjun and Taehyun speak sincerely about their relationship during a concert, he found himself recognising again how remarkable it was that the five of them had met, lived and performed together for so many years.
These experiences give the song’s definition of a “miracle” particular weight. The extraordinary is found within something that can easily become ordinary through familiarity: four people standing beside you every day. For TXT, the miracle is not simply reaching some brighter future together, but the unlikely fact that these particular five people found one another in the first place - and continue facing tomorrow side by side.
LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION
You, you (Yeah)
I was wandering alone inside the maze in the mirror
CONNECTION: This directly recalls “Maze in the Mirror,” a song written by the members about the uncertainty and struggles they experienced during their trainee years. There, the maze represents feeling lost within themselves and uncertain of the path ahead. “Miracle” looks back on that loneliness from the other side: while the boy once wandered through the maze alone, finding “you” gives him light and someone with whom to face the uncertain future.
I didn't believe in miracles
To me, who was afraid of tomorrow's sun
You were a candlelight in the darkness
Success, fame, money
It's nothing without you
Only when you close your eyes can you see tomorrow
CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: This echoes one of the central ideas associated with The Little Prince: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” A similar idea appears in the introduction to TXT's “Deja Vu” music video, which reflects on how precious things can be forgotten because they cannot be seen. Here, closing one's eyes paradoxically makes “tomorrow” visible, suggesting that hope in the future depends on something that cannot necessarily be physically seen or guaranteed - trust in the connection they share.
One, two, three
On the count of three, it'll unfold
(One) If it's you
(Two) I really
(Three) Look forward to the miracle called 'tomorrow'
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
I look forward to the miracle called 'tomorrow'
We can make missteps, so what?
You'll hold my hand
Comfortably rest your body in the warmth we share
On a cold winter's day, we'll make it warm
In the river of reflecting lights
We shared our favorite song
The midnight escape we made on our bikes
Shines on me like a miracle, it's like you
CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: This passage draws from memories associated with TXT's trainee years. The members have spoken about spending time together at the Han River, particularly after monthly evaluations, using it as a place to clear their heads, talk and spend time together amid the pressures of training. The river, shared music and late-night bicycle ride therefore ground the song's idea of a “miracle” in ordinary experiences from their own youth: looking back, moments that may once have seemed everyday have become precious because of the people with whom they were shared.
With that connection,
Let's go towards tomorrow
Only when you close your eyes can you see tomorrow
One, two, three
On the count of three, it'll unfold
(One) If it's you
(Two) I really
(Three) Look forward to the miracle called 'tomorrow'
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
I look forward to the miracle called 'tomorrow'
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I look forward to the miracle called 'tomorrow'
The words "Let's be together today and tomorrow too"
Let's shout them out, looking at each other
CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: “Let's be together today and tomorrow too” comes from a phrase the members themselves use. Before concerts and other important events, TXT gather together and shout it as a team chant, turning the lyric into a direct reflection of the promise the five members repeatedly make to one another in real life.
I feel like, oh wow, I'm so grateful
I look forward to the miracle we make together
CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: “The miracle we make together” and the repeated movement towards “tomorrow” echo the meaning of TXT's name, TOMORROW X TOGETHER: different people coming together under one dream in hopes of building a better tomorrow. Within a song about the members' real relationship, the familiar words “together” and “tomorrow” take on particularly personal significance — the miracle they describe is something the five of them continue creating together.
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, oh)
I look forward to the miracle we make together
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, oh)
I look forward to the miracle called 'tomorrow'
