In Wonder

A darkened night and clouded sky
No stars or moon to guide me by
I walk and breathe a weary sigh
At what conspires beyond my sight

I think to things beyond these skies
Past our patient searching eyes
Without the binds of mortal ties
Controlling the fates that guide our lives

Not just the skies and seas and plains
More than winds and torrential rains
Every single happy day
And all our sorrows and all our pains

I look up and see how weak we are
I see we only reach so far
I'm stuck on ground, with roads and cars
Staring up at blazing stars

But though there's little we can do
Our power is there and it is true
To those above we're a motley crew
But I'm happy looking up with you

And as those skies are torn asunder
By cracks of lighting and roars of thunder
I'll forget our worries and our blunders
I'll sit with you and watch
In wonder
