Words of Wonder Songtext

von Playing for Change

Won't you listen to me sister.
I keep it oh so low.
Yes I keep it nice and quiet
So I can hear you scream
Those words of wonder (wonder).
They are the words, Babe I gotta hear.

Those words, those words of wonder (wonder).
These are the words I gotta hear.

I'm stickin with ya baby. Til I arrive.
I'm out there, a quarter alive.
A little bit is missing. I wonder where it's gone.
Those words are the words of wonder (wonder).
These are the words I got to hear.

Those words, those words of wonder (wonder).
These are the words I gotta hear.

Would you hear me? Chill me baby.
I babble on and on.
Take no notice of me baby.
It's just another song.
Yes I keep it nice and quiet, so I
So I can hear you scream.
Those words of wonder (wonder).
They are the words, ya know babe I wanna hear.

Those words, those words of wonder (wonder).
These are the words... yeah, I wanna hear.

Get up, stand up. Stand up for your right.
Get up, stand up. Don't give up the fight.
Preacher man, tell me. Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know what life is really worth.
It's not all that glitters is gold.
Half the story's never been told.
So now you see the light. Stand up for your right. Come on ya'll.

Most people think that Great God will come from the skies.
Take away everything, and make everybody feel high.
But if you know what your life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth.
So now you see the light.
I'm beggin you to stand up for your right. Oh yo!

We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, Lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (What you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
