Wonder lyrics

Doctors have come from distant cities

Just to see me

Stand over my bed they're disbelieving

What they're seeing

They say, I must be one of the wonders

Of God's own creation

And as far as they see they can offer

No explanation

Newspapers ask such intimate questions

They want confessions

They turn to my head, they try 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 see they can offer

No explanation

I believe

Fate, fate smiled and and destiny

Laughed as she came to my cradle

"Know this child will be able"

And laughed as my body she lifted

"Know this child will be gifted

With love, with patience and with faith

She'll make her way, 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 and I must be one of the wonders

Of God's own creation

And as far as you see you can offer

No explanation

I believe

Fate, fate smiled and and destiny

And as she came to my cradle

"Know this child will be able"

And laughed as my body she lifted

"Know this child will be gifted"

And laughed as she came to my mother

"Know this child will not suffer

With love, with patience and with faith

She'll make her way, make her way

Make her way, make her way"
