Wondrous Thing - Thea Gilmore

The moment you came

The stars didn’t sing your name

And the heavens didn’t shed their skin

Smallest of things

Bravest of offerings

The way that a love begins

They’re gonna try to break it Try to make you forsake it oh Leave it in the dark

They’ll say there’s nothing in it Make you a sleepless cynic oh But if you feel its mark

Just raise it on high

Don’t let them tell you their lies

Oh love is a wondrous thing.

A hopeless disguise

Hiding behind your eyes

And a thousand points of view

It lands like a fist

Whoever the optimist

Whoever the ingénue

I know the havoc it wreaks

I’ve heard the tongues that it speaks oh It will not be shamed

But it is a beautiful bruise

You know you’ve got nothing to loose oh If it calls your name

Just raise it on high

Don’t let the light pass you by Oh love is a wondrous thing.

People often talk about it So many live their lives without it Oh you know it’s true

But I tell you if you find it You’ll bless the devils who designed it Oh I say to you.

Just raise it on high

Don’t let the light pass you by Oh love is a wonderous thing

Yeah love is a wonderous thing.
