Wonder Lyrics by Natalie Merchant

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 the can see they can offer
    No explanation

    Newspapers ask
    Intimate questions
    What 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 the can see they can offer
    No explanation

    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

    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"
