Many is the day I have squandered away Bended low from the weight I was under And many is the time I have spent all where it might While livin' in a world of wonder I have troubled my soul To things I can't control Awaiting my next foolish blunder And I try to tell myself It's in the hands of someone else Up above the darkened cloud There's a light to be found High above the lightning and the thunder Oh Lord hear my plea Won't you help my eyes to see I am livin' in a world of wonder I once had a friend And he loved life to the end And he never let his faith go asunder Though he lost his worldly due He could smile and say to you Man we're livin' in a world of wonder Up above the darkened cloud There's a light to be found High above the lightning and the thunder Oh Lord hear my plea Won't you help my eyes to see I am livin' in a world of wonder I am living, you are living, We are living in a world of wonder
