Wonderment

Where do we adjust our wonderment
Something that we see in the sky
A fine honor and grandeur well spent

Why do we see only what’s in our eye
We celebrate nothing beyond the great
Something that we see in the sky

How is it that we only want to take
And only tolerate beyond our scope
We celebrate nothing beyond the great

Who must we give to in order to elope
Masterful in appearance we find peace
And only tolerate beyond our scope

What is the cloth that resembles the fleece
We make due with the way we really are
Masterful in appearance we find peace

Nothing delivers like the risen bar
Where do we adjust our wonderment
We make due with the way we really are
A fine honor and grandeur well spent
