Sonder by Gina Tharin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I couldn't walk a mile
In someone else's shoes
I couldn't fake a smile
With everything to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I've ever known
Is all I've got
Never learning more
Than what I've been taught
How could I begin to visualize
Trying to survive
Through privileged eyes?
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a girl who's just like me
All across this world we wander
Is she who she wants to be?
Is this even more than sonder?
And I wonder
And I wonder
[Verse 2]
How does she live her life
And what does she hold dear?
What does she keep inside
What does she want the world to hear?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I've ever known
Is all I've got
Never learning more
Than what I've been taught
How could I begin to visualize
Trying to survive
Through privileged eyes?
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a girl who's just like me
All across this world we wander
Is she who she wants to be?
Is this even more than sonder?
And I wonder
And I wonder
[Bridge]
Trying to see a life that's not like mine
Trying hard to read between the lines
Would it even make a difference?
Wondering what it'd take to make a change
Make our separate lives get rearranged
Maybe all we have to do is listen
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a girl who's just like me
Do circumstances pull her under?
Is she ever feeling free?
Is she ever feeling sonder?
Yeah, there's a girl who's just like me
All across this world we wander
Is she ever feeling free?
Is she ever feeling sonder?
And I wonder
And I wonder
I couldn't walk a mile
In someone else's shoes
I couldn't fake a smile
With everything to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I've ever known
Is all I've got
Never learning more
Than what I've been taught
How could I begin to visualize
Trying to survive
Through privileged eyes?
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a girl who's just like me
All across this world we wander
Is she who she wants to be?
Is this even more than sonder?
And I wonder
And I wonder
[Verse 2]
How does she live her life
And what does she hold dear?
What does she keep inside
What does she want the world to hear?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I've ever known
Is all I've got
Never learning more
Than what I've been taught
How could I begin to visualize
Trying to survive
Through privileged eyes?
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a girl who's just like me
All across this world we wander
Is she who she wants to be?
Is this even more than sonder?
And I wonder
And I wonder
[Bridge]
Trying to see a life that's not like mine
Trying hard to read between the lines
Would it even make a difference?
Wondering what it'd take to make a change
Make our separate lives get rearranged
Maybe all we have to do is listen
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a girl who's just like me
Do circumstances pull her under?
Is she ever feeling free?
Is she ever feeling sonder?
Yeah, there's a girl who's just like me
All across this world we wander
Is she ever feeling free?
Is she ever feeling sonder?
And I wonder
And I wonder
