The Wonder Lyrics

A man knows his worth in the land of his birth

There's not much use in pretending

When we're treated like fools and bound by the rules

Made so a rich man can bend them

There's archaic rules and judgemental fools

Who'll tell you your life is a sin

Bigoted hacks spew racist attacks

Abuse for the skin that you live in

Oh - Oh The Wonder

Rolling around in your head like the sound of the thunder

Oh - Oh the wonder of it all

While half of it burns, the world it still turns

With indifference and cold resignation

Sheds crocodile tears, then turns a deaf ear

To injustice and discrimination

Refugees torn from the eye of the storm

Born from the conflict of nations

The trafficked, confused, displaced and abused

Driven by self preservation

Abandon all hope, walk the tightrope

No favours, relief or exemption

For the victims of hate, prisoners of fate

Betrayed by /evil cruel intention

It's shameful, it's wrong, it's weak, never strong

To refuse cries for help and protection

We all share the blame for what's done in our name

The lies, deceit and rejection

When hearts turn to stone, they turn on their own

It's a sign of the times that we live in

What father would shun the Prodigal Son

Or the daughter who's heart has turned wilful

Hurry the day there's a will and a way

To show more compassion and kindness

Teach those who cry, an eye for an eye

Nothing good comes from their blindness
