What Wonder

Don't fight the day
Don't blame the way
Don't kill your laughing
Fall onto me like suns will shine
Bend like a willow
breathe your breath until I billow
In the face of what we've lost and what we've found
Don't come up short
Don't leave the fort without my singing
song in your lungs
What's left of mine?
Drag me through my coals
Put your fingers through my holes
Leave me filled so when you're full I'm feeling fine

What wonder do you want to see?
What part of you is ailing?
One for you and one for me
When our faith is failing
What wonder do you hope to find?
What part of you is wailing?
Ears are deaf and eyes are blind
With fingers brailing
Wooooahhhhhhh….

Some tree to climb
Some trick of mine
Your beak is snapping
Hold to your chest my tangled vine
Bend down to peck and peak
When the light begins to leak
leafy shadows on your face are made of mine
This treasure chest
Is better, best, is booty raking
Piled on our table wide and high
Sniff at the air
Run your paws through my hair
Writhing wrong and unaware beneath my sight

What wonder do you want to see?
What part of you is ailing?
One for you and one for me
When our faith is failing
What wonder do you hope to find?
What part of you is wailing?
Ears are deaf and eyes are blind
With fingers brailing

Sway with your curves
Leaning back beneath the blurs
Of shady limbs and shedding furs we're sure to find
Time as it tells
With the casting of its spells
Don't wear off, wear me well, see me shine
Walk with these words
Feel the endings of your nerves
Another branch to break, a crooked limb to climb
Ohhhhh, ohhhh…
