Michael Patrick Kelly, Rakim - Wonders lyrics

(Wonders, Wonders)

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?

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

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?

(Wonders, Wonders)

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

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

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?

(Wonders, Wonders)

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

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?


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?
