I Wonder

Oh I wonder what it'll be like when nothing feels the same
When I lose all sense of who I am and everything has changed
I wonder what it'll be like if I lose myself today
Oh I wonder how you'll feel when goodbye's all I can say

Time may heal all wounds in life but it never kills the pain
When the scars hurt more than the first cut, why then do we stay
Why's it so hard to forget the things that have gone so far away
If tomorrow gives me one more chance, I'll never fall again

I'm afraid I'm losing all my hope, while the memories replay
I failed at life when I gave in and ran some other place
I should have known this life is nothing that will just let me escape
I ran to find some sanctity, but home's where I should stay

I wonder what it'll be like when nothing feels the same
When I lose all sense of who I am and everything has changed
I wonder what it'll be like if I lose myself today
Oh I wonder how you'll feel when goodbye's all I can say

Where will we all end up when the world is washed away
Will we have the sense to stand back up once this world's forever changed
Is there any hope that what we have is worth the price we'll pay
Can I tell myself that all I've done is always without shame
Or have we only got ourselves to blame

I wonder what it'll be like when everything has changed
When I lose all sense of who I am and nothing feels the same
I wonder what it'll be like if I lose myself today
Oh I wonder how you'll feel when goodbye's all I can say

Do you wonder what will happen when life doesn't feel the same
Do you wonder how you'll feel when goodbye's all you can say
Do you ever think you cope with life if you lose yourself today
Is there any hope you'll stand back up when everything has changed

I wonder, oh, I wonder
I wonder what it'll be like
Oh, I wonder
When nothing feels the same
Oh, I wonder
When everything has changed
Oh, I wonder
If I'll lose myself today
Oh, I wonder
Why goodbye is all that I have left to say

This is deep and touches on a place we mostly never think about. 'what it will be like when things are different than they are today'. makes me think of those who live through natural disasters. something we should all think of from time to time and be grateful to be grateful for today!!!

 

Love this RoC. You are the man.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Thanks NL

I wrote this one shortly after the tsunami that rocked Japan, so you hit the nail on the head with your interpretation


Oh, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, what's in a wonder ball
