lyrics
Verse 1
I thought I needed evidence to be convinced of Wonderful. But Nothing makes my Wonderful. Said, Nothing makes my Wonderful.
Come to find no matter what, there’s always a way to Wonderful. Because Nothing makes my Wonderful, Wonderful.
Pre-Chorus 1
It’s here, if I’m here. Don’t care what’s out there. When out there starts bothering me, I still know how It’s gonna be.
If I go hungry, or if I’m full, if circumstances push and pull: I just remember I’ve got soul. And then I find Wonderful.
Chorus 1
Cherry blooms and daffodils on sunny days are Wonderful.
They meet their doom in the winter chills and wither away, still Wonderful.
See them come, watch them go. Don’t you know, it’s Wonderful?
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
Verse 2
I was searching for some recompense to justify some Wonderful. But nobody owns my Wonderful. Said, nobody owns my Wonderful.
Circumstance changes on a dime, when you know you can find your Wonderful. Nobody owns my Wonderful, Wonderful!
Pre-Chorus 2
It’s here, if I’m here. Don’t care what’s out there. When out there starts bothering me, I still know how It’s gonna be.
When times are good, or times are tough. When circumstances push and shove: I just remember I’ve got soul. And then I find Wonderful.
Chorus 2
If I’m here, if I’m there; anywhere is Wonderful.
‘Cause even when I go nowhere, I’m still inside of Wonderful.
Don’t you know the neatest place you can ever go is Wonderful?
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
Bridge
There’s somewhere beneath and beyond it all. And I go there to find my Wonderful.
There’s somewhere beneath and beyond it all. And I go there to find my Wonderful.
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!!
Chorus 3
Totally unexpected or exactly as planned, sounds Wonderful.
Travelling through forever or in space and time, all Wonderful.
They say some day I’m gonna die – fantastic news! That’s Wonderful!
And oh, how I love the word ‘Wonderful’ - it’s Wonderful!
Man, I really dig this song, I think I’ma call it “Wonderful”…
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
