Sonder

I couldn't walk a mile
In someone else's shoes
I couldn't fake a smile
With everything to lose

'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?

'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

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?

'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?

'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

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

'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
