Why Wonder - Shimshai

Stranded, I am looking

But seeking shall not find

For the farther that I wander

Only separates my mind

Wishing I could see you

Knowing that you’re here

All that I create

Is isolation of my fear

When I see your reflection

In the reflection of the sky

Then I wonder why I’d

Ever wondered why

So far from perfection

Or so far it appears

Still I notice that you

Always lead me here

Where we’ll go

When the essence of the travel

Isn’t what we see

And the threads of time unravel

Into all we know

And although it isn’t much, still we can

Learn to live, to love, to let it grow

Three if I am lonely

Two if I divide

Only one to keep the peace of one

And only deep inside

Calling brings no answer

Sadness finds no tear

An offering of silence

Is the only sound I hear

Reaching out to greet you

With an empty touch of grace

More fulfilled than ever

I stand hollowed in this place

Where nothing can defeat you

Nothing can deny

Still I wonder why

I’d ever wondered why

All we are

Rises in the setting

Of the light we see

In a flight on the horizon

Of the time we tell

That it all adds up to nothing

Still we wander through this world

And wonder where we’ll go

When the essence of the travel

Isn’t what we see

And the threads of time unravel

Into all we know

And although it isn’t much, still we can

Learn to live, to love, to let it grow

Nothing can defeat you

Nothing can deny

Nothing can defeat you

Still I wonder why I’d ever wondered why

Three if I am lonely

Two if I divide

Only one to keep the peace of one

And only deep inside

Calling brings no answer

Sadness finds no tear

An offering of silence

Is the only sound I hear

When I see your reflection

In the center of the eye

Then I wonder why I’d

Ever wondered why

So far from perfection

Or so far it appears

Still I notice that you

Always lead me here

And all we are

Rises in the setting

Of the light we see

In a flight on the horizon

Of the time we tell

That it all adds up to nothing

Still we wander through this world

And wonder where we’ll go

When the essence of the travel

Isn’t what we see

And the threads of time unravel

Into all we know

And although it isn’t much, still we can

Learn to live, to love, to let it grow
