Many is the day I have squandered away
Bended low from the weight I was under
And many is the time
I have spent all where it might
While livin' in a world of wonder

I have troubled my soul
To things I can't control
Awaiting my next foolish blunder
And I try to tell myself
It's in the hands of someone else

Up above the darkened cloud
There's a light to be found
High above the lightning and the thunder
Oh Lord hear my plea
Won't you help my eyes to see

I am livin' in a world of wonder

I once had a friend
And he loved life to the end
And he never let his faith go asunder
Though he lost his worldly due
He could smile and say to you
Man we're livin' in a world of wonder

Up above the darkened cloud
There's a light to be found
High above the lightning and the thunder
Oh Lord hear my plea
Won't you help my eyes to see
I am livin' in a world of wonder

I am living, you are living,
We are living in a world of wonder
