Intro
[Db] [Ab] [Bbm] [Ab] [Gb]
Verse 1
Db Ab Bbm Ab Gb (Same chords over & over)
Doctors have come from distant cities
just to see me stand over my bed
disbelieving what they're seeing
Chorus:
they say I must be one of the wonders
of God's own creation
and as far as they can see they can offer
no explanation
Verse 2 : same pattern of chords
newspapers ask intimate questions
want confessions they reach into my head
to steal the glory of my story
Chorus
Bridge:
[Ebm]I belie[Db]ve[Bbm] [Gb]
[Ebm]Fate sm[Db]iled [Bbm]and de[Gb]stiny
[Bbm]laughed as she came to my c[Gb]radle
"know this child will be able"
laughed as my body she lifted
"know this child will be gifted
[Bbm]with love, with patience[Gb] and with [Db]faith[Ab],[Bbm]
[Ab]she'll make her [Gb]way"
verse 3 (just like verses 1 & 2)
people see me I'm a challenge to your balance,
I'm over your heads how I confound you and astound you
to know I must be one the wonders of...(Chorus)
bridge (just like the 1st one)
I believe fate smiled & destiny
laughed as she came to my cradle
"know this child will be able"
laughed as she came to my mother
"know this child will not suffer"
laughed as my body she lifted
"know this child will be gifted
with love, with patience and with faith
she'll make her way...she'll make her way
