Lyrics

It's hard to explain why I feel the way I do
In my quiet moments I wonder too
If in fact it's the journey that reveals who we are
What shapes us, give us purpose
In my quiet moments I wonder on that too

I can choose a path of kindness, generosity and grace
Yet it's a challenge to be a player in this human race
Pain and senseless anguish continues without end
Have we learned anything at all
Moved forward at all
I wonder if we can

There are moments in the sunshine chasing doubt and fear away
There must be reasons, maybe powers
That have made the world this way
Is it God or something else
And can you show me how God looks?
If 2 plus 2 can't equal four
When the good and bad don't balance
In my angry moments
In my sad and desperate moments
And even in the glorious, life-affirming moments
I wonder at the wonders
I wonder at my wonder
Will I ever find my answer
I wonder on that too

It's my right and my freedom not to know for sure
Generations past and coming open this same door
Each day the world revolves
The moon and sun will dance their dance
There's wisdom in this process
And that's what makes me wonder
If that's all I need to know
But, in my quiet moments
My sad and tired moments
And the many, many glorious and life-affirming moments
I wonder too
