We awaken to each day as another task at bay.

So we schedule all we see to fit our purpose and decree.

Thus we blindly turn away from the beauty that fills each day

And we never truly see God's precious world as it could be!

Oh, the wonder of it all is that we ever live at all.

The wonder of it all is that we ever live at all!

 

Was there ever such a cage as this strange place where we engage

All our time and energy in pointless thrills and vanity?

Never stopping to question why, we throw ourselves into this lie

And so we sink in man's debris and put at risk our destiny.

Oh, the wonder of it all is that we ever live at all.

The wonder of it all is that we ever live at all!

 

Why not ask yourself, just what you do

That brings you joy and sees you through?

Then hold that test against your life.

Does it foster love, or endless strife?

Oh, the wonder of it all is that we ever live at all.

The wonder of it all is that we ever live at all!

 

It's not too late to change.

It's never too late to change!

Oh, the wonder of it all is that we ever live at all.

The wonder of it all is that we ever live at all!
