Except you're forgetting the rest of the line "something but the past and done". Asking for a miracle wouldn't be akin to asking for something that hasn't already been done (well, there's room for argument there). But, on another point, what miracle would he theoretically be asking for? How does this request fit in with the rest of the lyrics (like the overt oppression of the first stanza)?
