Wonders

There must be blood, and this I knew
Surely there can be wonders, too
I cannot leave the cages locked
Or well enough alone
I can only be myself
When I am so far from home
It’s the wonders that I’m after
Even if I have to bleed
And make very rash decisions
For the sake of what I need
Dancing kisses on my cheek
It’s the wonders that I seek
And I swear I am not afraid
There must be blood, and this I knew
I believe there must be wonders, too
I’ll take up this quest-just say the word-
Even though I am small
And I have no sword
A party at the end is not required
And I promise I’ll keep trying
Even if I get tired
It’s the wonders that I’m after
Even if I have to fight
It’ll all be hard and bloody
Even when I get it right
I know stories change their faces
On an inconsistent basis
But I swear I am not afraid!
There must be blood, and this I knew
I believe there must be wonders, too
If somersaults and lanterns aren’t
The order of the day
I will still take up my weapons
And I’ll be on my way
I am stubborn and won’t listen
But I’ve made it this far
And I’d really like
To stay
Here must be blood, and this I knew
Surely there can be wonders, too
I cannot leave the cages locked
Or well enough alone
I can only be myself
When I am so far from home
It’s the wonders that I’m after
Even if I have to bleed
And make very rash decisions
For the sake of what I need
Dancing kisses on my cheek
It’s the wonders that I seek
And I swear I am not afraid
There must be blood, and this I knew
I believe there must be wonders, too
There must be blood, and this I knew
I believe there must be wonders, too
Wonders
Too
Don’t be afraid
Whatever you do!
