Wonder

Bu şarkıyı duymayalı uzun zaman olmuştu. Natalie Merchant'ın "Tigerliliy" albümünden, taa 1995'ten. Klibi bulamadım yutüpte, ama bir sürü kadın şarkıya eşlik ediyordu. Farklı ve yeterli ve mutlu ve şanslı olmaktan bahsediyor. Dinleyin ve sevin =)




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,
God's own creation,
And as far as they see they can offer
No explanation.

Newspapers ask
Intimate questions,
What confessions;
They reach into my head
To steal the glory
Of my story.

They say I must be one of the wonders,
God's own creation,
And as far as they see they can offer
No explanation.

I believe
Fate smiled at destiny laughed
As she came to my cradle:
"No, this child will be able"
Laughed as my body she lifted:
"No, 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,
God's own creation,
And as far as you see you can offer me
no explanation.

I believe
Fate smiled and destiny laughed
As she came to my cradle:
"No, this child will be able"
Laughed as she came to my mother:
"Know this child will not suffer."
Laughed as my body she lifted:
"No this child will be gifted.
With love, with patience,
And with faith,
She'll make her way."
