Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Doctors have come from distant cities
Just to see me
Stand over my bed
Disbelieving what they're seeing
[Verse 2]
They say I must be one of the wonders, God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer no explanation
[Verse 3]
Newspapers ask intimate questions
Want confessions
They reach into my head to
Steal the glory of my story
[Verse 4]
They say I must be one of the wonders, God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer no explanation
[Verse 5]
Ooh, I believe
Fate smiled and destiny laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as my body she lifted, know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience, and with faith
She'll make her way, she'll make her way
[Verse 6]
People seek me
I'm a challenge to your balance
I'm over your heads how
I confound you and astound you
[Verse 7]
To know I must be one of the wonders, God's own creation
And as far as they see, you can offer me no explanation
[Verse 8]
Ooh, I believe
Fate smiled and destiny laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as she came to my mother, know this child will not suffer
Laughed as my body she lifted, know this child will be gifted
With love, patience and with faith
She'll make her way, she'll make her way
She'll make her way
[Verse 9]
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
