lyrics

It's hard not to be bamboozled
Dazzled all the time
It's hard to fight confusion when you're shaking like a leaf
I'm not going to tell you everything's O.K.
When obviously it isn't
When people do the things they do
When anything can happen

I want language on my lips
Fire in my hips
I want vision in my eyes
I want to laugh until I cry

Do you ever wonder why there's pleasure in pain?
Why the small things matter?
Sometimes the big things don’t.
Do you ever wonder if you’ll see them again?
Why that sperm met that egg?

By machinery or magic
Years of patient waiting
The raising of cathedrals or the splitting of the atom
I'm not going to tell you it's hopeless
‘Cause obviously it isn't
When anything can happen like the walls of Jericho and Berlin
tumbling down...

I want music in my ears
Hope instead of fears
I can't be what I'm not
Time is all I've got

Do you ever wonder how long gratitude lasts?
Why the small things matter?
Sometimes the big things don’t.
Do you ever wonder when there’s so much stuff
Why the farmer still hasn’t enough.



Con’t…






Oh my little baby
Rock you in my arms
Soon you'll be a grown-up
To the world you will belong
Oh my little darling
Wonder in your eyes
Watching for that new star
In the sky

It was the right kiss
But on the wrong face.
It was the right time
But in the wrong place.

Do you ever wonder why there's pleasure in pain?
Do you ever wonder if you’ll see them again?
Do you ever wonder when there’s so much stuff
Do you ever wonder how long gratitude lasts?
Do you ever wonder why it’s cool to be rude?
Do you ever wonder why a song changes mood?
Do you ever wonder when the road disappears
Do you ever wonder if an ending is near?
