Not with you, life, but wonder holds me fast,
Lost in wonder, I am.
By your innocent questions, I'm distressed,
Deeply distressed, I am.
Never did I think of living,
That I’d bear the weight of pain,
Never did I think of living,
That I’d walk through sun and rain.
If I smile, a debt it seems,
A debt to pay for every ray,
Smiling, it feels, as if my lips
Carry debts that I must pay.
Not with you, life, but wonder holds me fast,
Lost in wonder, I am.
If today the clouds grow thick with tears,
And the droplets start to fall,
If today the clouds grow thick with tears,
The eyes may carve for them tomorrow,
Who knows where, when, it went astray,
A single tear I kept in hold,
Not with you, life, but wonder holds me fast,
Lost in wonder, I am.
Not with you, life, but wonder holds me fast,
Lost in wonder, I am.
By your innocent questions, I'm distressed,
Deeply distressed, I am.
