Wonder Lyrics

Doctors have come from distant cities

 Just to see me

 Stand over my bed

 Disbelieving what they're seeing 

 

 They say I must be one of the wonders

 Of god's own creation

 And as far as they can see they can offer

 No explanation 

 

 Newspapers ask intimate questions

 Want confessions

 They reach into my head

 To steal the glory of my story 

 

 They say I must be one of the wonders

 Of god's own creation

 And as far as they can see they can offer

 No explanation 

 

 O, I believe

 Fate smiled and destiny

 Laughed as she came to my cradle

 Know this child will be able

 Laughed as my body she lifted

 Know this child will be gifted

 With love, with patience and with faith

 She'll make her way 

 

 People see me

 I'm a challenge to your balance

 I'm over your heads

 How I confound you and astound you

 To know I must be one of the wonders

 Of god's own creation

 And as far as you can see you can offer me

 No explanation 

 

 O, I believe

 Fate smiled and destiny

 Laughed as she came to my cradle

 Know this child will be able

 Laughed as she came to my mother

 Know this child will not suffer

 Laughed as my body she lifted

 Know this child will be gifted

 With love, with patience and with faith

 She'll make her way
