In Wonder Lyrics - The Wireless - Punch Brothers

Mother, Father: I'm standing 

Standing and I'm not about to fall 

When I can speak I'll tell you not to worry 

Or be sorry for anything, 

'cause no one understands this world at all 

My father swept me over his shoulders 

Above the empty cars to see the fair 

A slowly spinning wheel of smiling neighbors, 

and flowers from my mother 

Who sang to me that night of love and death, 

'cause everybody sings of love and death.

We dreamt our sons and daughters a high wire 

Connecting the four corners of the earth 

The wire disappeared and left them standing on nothing; 

in thin air 

They're standing and they're not about to fall; 

standing and they're not about to fall 

Child you'll grow up 

In wonder, like we'll grow old 

My godparents did, and their parents before 

It was written on the faces in the waiting room 

the day you were born 

Photos 

Child you'll grow up 

In wonder, like we'll grow old 

My godparents did, and their parents before 

It was written on the faces in the waiting room 

the day they, we, and you were born 

The day you were born
