lyrics

VERSE 1
Whatever happened to the wonderment
We used to have, just climbing trees for the fun of it
Watching full of awe at the peak of every evening
When the sun would set
And to the soul, nothin’ was more comfortin’ than colourin’
Before the stress of paying taxes to the government
Before we cared who’s democrat and who’s republican
Lunch money was the only cash that we were budgeting
And we could have a scrap and still go back to being buds again
The same day on the jungle gym
Crazy how the way we would relate
was on the basis of a covenant
Instead of holding grudges after one offence
Today, I hunger for the courage I could muster when
I was a 4-foot stubborn kid, thinkin’ I could touch the rim
Jump and grin, thinking to myself, “Just another inch”
Well now I’ve gained 24 of ‘em
Dudes grown but he’s still the same at the core of him

HOOK
What ever happened to the joy, simplicity
The play, the freedom, the wonder of the mystery
You feel me? As immature as it seems
I’m just a man living out all these childhood dreams

VERSE 2
Since I came of age, I’ve had to put the childish games away
Stakes are raised - I aim to stay focused on my day to day grind
In a wiser purpose-driven and patient way
Wait and pray before I haste to chase the things I crave today
I hate to say, but as we come upon that later phase
And slave away to maybe gain a raise in pay
I see a lot of bloated egos and deflated faith
Broken people who won’t admit that they make mistakes
If you catch a brother faking for the sake of praise
Please remind me I’m covered under amazing grace
The safest place to embrace the gift of creative play
And ask the questions I’d normally be afraid to raise
Attributes I pray to convey when I blaze the stage
Even though my childhood is behind me, in the words of Paul
I’ve come to see, just because our stage has changed
Doesn’t mean suddenly wonderment gets the curtain call

[HOOK]
