Doctors have come from distant cities
|
Just to see me
|
Stand over my bed
|
Disbelieving what they're seeing
|
|
They say I must be one of the wonders
|
Of god's own creation
|
And as far as they can see they can offer
|
No explanation
|
|
Newspapers ask intimate questions
|
Want confessions
|
They reach into my head
|
To steal the glory of my story
|
|
They say I must be one of the wonders
|
Of god's own creation
|
And as far as they can see they can offer
|
No explanation
|
|
O, I believe
|
Fate smiled and destiny
|
Laughed as she came to my cradle
|
Know this child will be able
|
Laughed as my body she lifted
|
Know this child will be gifted
|
With love, with patience and with faith
|
She'll make her way
|
|
People see me
|
I'm a challenge to your balance
|
I'm over your heads
|
How I confound you and astound you
|
To know I must be one of the wonders
|
Of god's own creation
|
And as far as you can see you can offer me
|
No explanation
|
|
O, I believe
|
Fate smiled and destiny
|
Laughed as she came to my cradle
|
Know this child will be able
|
Laughed as she came to my mother
|
Know this child will not suffer
|
Laughed as my body she lifted
|
Know this child will be gifted
|
With love, with patience and with faith
|
She'll make her way
|
