Wonders
[Intro]
(Wonders)
(Wonders)
[Verse 1: Michael Patrick Kelly]
I know, I know
That you can't see your tomorrow today
Will you let go, let go?
Can I hold you? Can I make it feel okay?
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Patrick Kelly]
You're comin' alive, comin' alive
Cry a tear of joy, cry a tear of pain
You're comin' alive, comin' alive
Beauty's gonna wipe the fear away
[Chorus: Michael Patrick Kelly]
I see wonders, wonders in a broken world
Hidden under-, under-, underneath the dirt
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Gettin' stronger for every boy and girl
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
[Post-Chorus]
(Wonders)
(Wonders)
[Verse 2: Michael Patrick Kelly]
So deep in doubt
And I know just how you feel in that place
But take a look around
There's a million little sparks of a golden age
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Patrick Kelly]
We're comin' alive, comin' alive
Cry a tear of joy, cry a tear of pain
We're comin' alive, comin' alive
Beauty's gonna wipe the fear away
[Chorus: Michael Patrick Kelly]
I see wonders, wonders in a broken world
Hidden under-, under-, underneath the dirt
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Gettin' stronger for every boy and girl
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
[Post-Chorus]
(Wonders)
(Wonders)
[Verse 3: Rakim]
Can you see what I'm seein'?
Or are you distracted by the poverty stricken streets and deep depression that we in?
I see survivors of the worst conditions to be in
You see deceivin', the demons, the death and the grievin'
No place to raise a seed in
But the rose still grow through the crack left in the cement
Just as pleasant as Eden
Where wonders succeed in and greed and oppression's the reason people unite
Even give their life, expressin' what they believe in
[Chorus: Michael Patrick Kelly]
I see wonders, wonders in a broken world
Hidden under-, under-, underneath the dirt
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Gettin' stronger for every boy and girl
Wonders, wonders in a broken world
Tell me, do you see what I see?
[Post-Chorus: Michael Patrick Kelly & Rakim]
I see wonders
All around the world
Signs and wonders (Uh, in these dark times)
All around the world (Keep your head up)
I see wonders (I see wonders)
All around the world (I see, I see)
Signs and wonders
Tell me, do you see what I see?
[Outro: Rakim]
