In Wonder - Punch Brothers

Mother, Father: I’m standing

Standing and I’m not about to fall

When I can speak I’ll tell you not to worry

Or be sorry for anything

'Cause no one understands this world at all

My father swept me over his shoulders

Above the empty cars to see the fair

A slowly spinning wheel of smiling neighbors

And flowers for my mother

Who sang to me that night of love and death

'Cause everybody sings of love and death

We dreamt our sons and daughters

A high wire, connecting the four corners of the earth

But the wire disappeared and left them standing on nothing

But thin air

They’re standing and they’re not about to fall

Standing and they’re not about to fall

Child you’ll grow up

In wonder, like we’ll grow old

Like our parents did, and their parents before

It was written on the faces in the waiting room

The day you were born
