Doctors have come

from distant cities

just to see me

stand over my bed

disbelieving what they're seeing



they say I must be one of the wonders

of god's own creation

and as far as they can see they can offer

no explanation



newspapers ask

intimate questions

want confessions

reach into my head

to steal the glory

of my story



they say I must be one of the wonders

of god's own creation

and as far as they can see they can offer

no explanation



I believe

fate smiled &destiny

laughed as she came to my cradle

"know that 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"



people see me

I'm a challenge

to your balance

I'm over your heads

how I confound you

and astound you

to know I must be one of the wonders

of god's own creation

and as far as you can see you can offer me

no explanation



I believe

fate smiled &destiny

laughed as she came to my cradle

"know that 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. with patience,

and with faith

she'll make her way"
