Time of Wonder by Qkumba Zoo Lyrics
[Intro]
[?]
Wonder
Wonder
[Verse 1]
They told you dreamers
Are never achievers
It's too far up to the sky
The higher you reach
The harder you fall
Well I say that's a lie
[Pre-Chorus]
There's so much more
There's so much more
There's so much more to you
[Chorus]
You can, you can
You can right now
'Cause it's a time of wonder
You can, you can
You can right now
'Cause it's a time of wonder
([?])
[Verse 2]
You think it's not easy
You have to be special
Well I'm daring you to try
Imagine and choose it
Allow it to happen
Tomorrow is in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
There's so much more
There's so much more
There's so much more to you
(Wonder)
You see the door
Go through the door
(Wonder)
It's waiting there for you
[Chorus]
You can, you can
You can right now
'Cause it's a time of wonder
You can, you can
You can right now
'Cause it's a time of wonder
(Wonder)
(Wonder)
[Bridge]
In a time of miracles
Anything can happen
In a time of wonder
You can ride your dreams
Making space for miracles
Anything can happen
In a time, a time of wonder
(Wonder)
Wonder
Wonder
(Wonder)
Wonder
[Chorus]
You can, you can
You can right now
'Cause it's a time of wonder
You can, you can
You can right now
'Cause it's a time of wonder
You can, you can
You can right now
'Cause it's a time of wonder
You can, you can
You can right now
'Cause it's a time of wonder

[Levannah (reading)]
Three young men burst into the hut
"Grandmother, help us!"
"Ah, it is come to pass. The ship has come bringing the strangers."
"But, grandmother, who are they? Are they gods? Demons? Invaders?"
"All of these and none of these. They will be what you allow them to be."
"But, grandmother, how can we choose? They're so much stronger than us."
"Only give them the respect you give yourselves; never accept a gift without offering one of equal value; and always remember who you are."
She turned to the child in the corner of the room and said, "Come, little one. Let us go and see this marvelous ship." And they walked out through the concrete and the grime to the hilltop. There, in the sky, the lights were dancing
