Small Wonders

Here we go again with your hair in your face
My head in my hands
Hoping to find something that we’ve never known
Looking like two little kids with our wide eyes
Slow tenderness, asking
Saying things that we always do
And when we’re feeling we’ve been cheated
Out of something we deserve
Then these small wonders
Keep us awake at night
These small wonders
Hold us down the ground
And show us who we are
Walking side by side with our fear
Our hope, our love and our pride
Two steps forward, no looking back
Every chance to fall through
Then its one look and the world becomes you
Untouched, we know we’re on our way
And when we’re feeling we’ve been wasted
By too much time inside
Then these small wonders
They keep us awake at night
These small wonders
Hold us down to the ground
And show us who we are
Just when we know we’ve heard it all before
The world comes screaming through our door
These small wonders
These small wonders
Here we go again
Your hair my face
Your head, my hands
My clumsy hands
