Intro
(Rhythmic, syncopated drumbeat with shakers and a subtle bassline)
Ooh-ooh-ooh wonder
Wonder
Verse 1
(Beat picks up slightly, with a simple, clean guitar riff repeating)
It's a wonder you even look at me
With those teenage eyes full of mystery
One minute I'm the queen the next I'm so lame
But a smile breaks through and it's all the same
You grunt and you grumble slam every door
But then you need my help and I see my boy once more
Who are you now with headphones and hoodies
A stranger in my house or the child who still needs me
You crave freedom and I want to give it
But the mama bear in me still wants to hold on tight
Chorus
(Beat becomes fuller and more layered, with horns playing a simple, catchy melody)
Cause it's a wonder a beautiful wonder
The way you see the world makes my heart thunder
With hope and with joy with laughter so bright
You chase away the shadows and fill me with light
Verse 2
(Percussion becomes more prominent; a call-and-response vocal style is used)
Sticky fingers and endless questions (endless questions!)
A whirlwind of energy testing every lesson (every lesson!)
He asks me why the sky is blue
And I stumble for an answer he sees the world anew
He tells me I look beautiful even with messy hair
A love so pure it fills the air
He dances in the rain laughs with his whole heart
Reminding me what life is about right from the start
Bridge
(The beat becomes more relaxed and melodic. The focus is on the vocals and a soulful bassline)
Sometimes I dream in pink
Of braids and glitter a different kind of love
Is there another soul waiting to be born
What a mom needs to know is that she isn't alone
Someone's watching over her and her little ones
Chorus
(The full Afrobeat rhythm returns, with all instruments and vocals at maximum energy)
Cause it's a wonder a beautiful wonder
The way you see the world makes my heart thunder
With hope and with joy with laughter so bright
You chase away the shadows and fill me with light
Outro
(The music gradually fades out, with the beat and instruments dropping away one by one)
It's a wonder a beautiful wonder
You fill me with light
For I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength
