Dare To Wonder

Dance to the rhythm of my heart
Can you feel the vibration?
Can you feel it from head to toe?
I listen…to your melody – a gift to unwrap
It’s a healing potion to this lonely man without a roof on his head
How can You craft such marvelous miracles?

*chorus*

Dare to wonder
What I’ve become…so numb
Dare to wonder
What I dream…not like some
Break free from wretched reality
Dare to wonder
How it feels to be…free!
Freedom has a high cost – it’s not free
Pay the price
Roll the dice
My prize to you is my love

You made me merrily sing from the start…
Can you hear me longing for you?
Can you elevate me above the disconsolate clouds?
I watch keenly at your performance – a dream come true
It’s GOOD LUCK in disguise – it took hard work, man!
How can you surprise me with your trippy talent?

*double chorus - both differentish* 

Dare to wonder
What I’ve become…so numb
Dare to wonder
What I dream…not like some
Break free from wretched reality
Dare to wonder
How it feels to be…free!
Freedom has a high cost – it’s not free
Pay the price
Roll the dice
My gifts of expressing inner love
Dare to wonder
What I’ve become…a naughty boy who loves
To cause trouble and what not
Dare to wander
In my eloquent dreams…wrapped up in wings of doves
I deliver it to you ‘cause you’re hot! 
Break free from plastic reality
Dare to wonder
How it feels to be…truly happy! 
Freedom is free – for us thankfully
No need to pay the price
Drop those silly dice!
My present to you is my peace I hand to you

~bridge~

We’ll rejoice all day long 
As long as we enjoy this song 
Dare to wonder
How I put it all together?
Inspiration is key – it’s like catching a light feather
And letting it float about in the swirling sky
I release my passion and write it down on paper
It’s merely a work of art –
It’s original from the young heart

22nd on the list: David, if you could please make a video for us to be able to hear how your song goes. I'm sure it will flow very well when sung as it is being read.

Ok, so, I have a YouTube channel, where I do covers of songs, or do some of my own. I would like to know I could sing this (giving you credit of course). I would really appreciate it, because your words are so beautiful, and I feel like it would be amazing as a song.

"What I’ve become…a naughty boy who loves To cause trouble and what not" Instead of naughty boy, sing: Naughty girl - ok! Thanks for bearing with me!

Sure! Go for it! It would be wonderful how you come up with it...you can change some words up for perfect rhythm. if you'd like (edit it some). Thank you! I'm obliged by this offer and comment. It was meant to be some sort of song, so make it any tune or any genre you want - your choice!! :) Have an awesome week!

I'm amazed I am the first to comment. The feather reference made me think of the feather floating about at the beginning of Forrest Gump. I do believe imagination is the key to breaking free. There are songs yet to be sung and like the feather we can float effortlessly on the breath of God's possibilities.
