Wonder Lyrics

The song Wonder is performed by Natalie Merchant in the album named Tigerlily in the year 1995 .

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"
