WONDER

 Doctors have come from disant cities

 Just to see me

 Stand over my bed

 Disbelieving what they're seeing

 They say I must be one of the wonders

 Of G_d's own creation

And as far as they can see they can offer 

No explination

Newspapers ask intimate questions

 Want confession

 They reach into my head 

To steal the story of my glory

They say I must be one of the wonders

 of G_d's own creation 

And as far as they can see

No explination

 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 yourheads

 I confound you and astound you

 To know I must be one of the wonders 

 Of G_ds own creation

 And as far as you can see me 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.
