lyrics

WONDERFUL MIND

Well pardon me please
Mr. Wizard
A moment if you will
We’ve got a terrible problem
And we can not keep still

There is a light that is missing
The light they say we keep
Not in the field of science
But buried somewhere deep

Oh mystery of humankind
You’ve left kindness
Far behind
Let your heart go start
And see what you can find
There in your wonderful mind

You’ve got to stand back
And wonder just how
We get it wrong
Is it a spell that we’re under
That we can’t get along

We’ve got the world by the tail
Ideas that reach the sun
But here on the smallest
Of scale we can’t live as one

Chorus

I get so very low, I get so
Weary asking why and still
I just don’t know. you know
It makes me want to cry

Show me a light in your
Window or a smile upon
Your face we’ll dive the
Depths of the ocean and
Look through outer space

How do you care for each
Other and never be so mean
Is this be the greatest
Invention
That we have never seen

Chorus
