Jim Chastain - Wonder to You (DEMO)

And there you go, you're off again
I often think and wonder
What goes on inside your brain
Inside your head
Are you there?
I'd act surprised, but it's not new
I wish so it wouldn't hurt as much
I didn't care at all
Not for you
Still, I care
Beautiful city skylines
To sprawling ruins of Peru
Every work of nature
Makes up this world so whole
Just for you
For what use is it to live
If not to take what life gives?
A world you seem to miss
The way you talk of the world
It leaves me aspiring
There's so much love in your
Heart for it all, it's inspiring
Obsessive, a bit
But you have to admit
He's exemplary
And while that's just fine
How can he be so blind
So helplessly
I wish that I held
A single piece of value
In your life, so whole and free
I wish that I was
The sound of roaring winter gales
The heavens or the
Ground beneath your feet!
Or maybe the horizon
Or the waning of the moon
I wish I was the open sea
The break of dawn
I wish that I could be
A wonder to you
I wish I was the smell of petrichor
Or the changing of the leaves
In fall, I wish I was a bird
And I'd soar
I wish I could be
The blazing sands of Egypt
The dirt dried on your shoes
I wish with my heart
That I was something more than me
That I could be a wonder to you!
I wish I was a mountain
Or every sight to see and view
I wish I was a thunderstorm
Volcanic ash
How I wish I could transform
Into a hurricane
A vast expanse of rolling plains
A tundra far and wide
I wish that you could tell
How much the truth can hurt
Knowing you care more for dirt
Than someone by your side
What I would do
To be a wonder to you…
