I’VE SEEN DAYS MELT INTO NIGHTS
In circles of lights
I’ve watched a spider spin a star
Between the window box flowers
I’ve heard you laugh and cry
In a single sigh
And a story form within
Don’t let me lose my wonder
Don’t let me lose my wonder
I saw her broken dreams inside
But helping others fly
I saw his eyes without a doubt
Though other lights faded out
And though her calling roared
Such graciousness poured
From the vision of her soul
Don’t let me lose my wonder
Don’t let me lose my wonder
A baby cried through the dark
Beneath a jewelled spark
I knew Your voice upon the hill
And heard my lostness still
I found my home in the light
Where wrong was made right
And You rose as the morning star
Don’t let me lose my wonder
Don’t let me lose my wonder
