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!
