Wonders

I learned to love
 I learned to give
 When I was little and all around me seemed to live
 I learned to swim in the sea
 To run across endless fields
 Time and space was so unreal
 You showed me a wonder in everything
 You were the calming voice that spoke the truth
 And I knew the day would turn to night
 Everytime you dimmed the light
 And the moon dimmed my mind
 Oh I was so proud of my new red-velvet gown
 I learned to sing, then I talked
 I sang all day all those songs
 I loved to fly on Sunday's clouds
 You picked me up after school
 Because the boys were so rude
 Until the day I hit back too
 Oh how I cried that day
 A pearl was hiding in my ear
 Remember I was scared
 Black panthers underneath my bed
 You showed me the wonders of every spring
 You were the calming voice that talked so wise
 And I knew the day was close at hand
 Everytime you dimmed the light
 And the moon dimmed my mind
 Oh then the day would turn to night
