The Wonder
(Salkeld, Gilbert, Evans)

I was alone I was inspired
I couldn’t stop
I don’t know why
I stood and gazed into the sand
Beneath the burning stone

Who are you?
The colour red was in my eyes
Who are you?
Then the water starts to fly
Who are you?
The new born day was growing old
Who are you?
The wonder of it all
Who are you?
The wonder of it all….Stupified

I fell into a golden cloud
Its sails were turned against the sun
The sound of voices could be heard
But nobody was there

Who are you?
Taken to a foreign land
Who are you?
They spoke in tongues and held my hand
Who are you?
I wasn’t scared, I don’t know why
Who are you?
The wonder of it all
Who are you?
The wonder of it all….Mystified

Fading memories rearranged
I close my eyes
And everything the same

I was lying on the ground
Shapeless sounds they cover me
The shadows of the hidden chimes
Are lighting up the way

Who are you?
I can feel the distant fire
Who are you?
Then the walls start to unfold
Who are you?
They melt into the universe
Who are you?
The wonder of it all
Who are you?
The wonder of it all….Mesmerised
