Wonder


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
God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer no explanation

Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions
Reach into my head to steal the glory of my story


They say I must be one of the wonders
God's own creation
And as far as they 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
He'll make his 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
God's own creation
And as far as I see, they 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
He'll make his way
He'll make his way


Natalie Merchant (with gender change by me)

That's the perfect song... I am amazed by you two. We're with you all the way and Terri's right - Connor is already in out hearts. BTW, that first picture is incredible. Very beautiful.
