Sense of Wonder

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Giant squid and butterflies creatures big and mighty, low and small
We can only guess how many kinds with which we share this big, blue ball
They say that we know less about the bottom of the ocean than we do about the surface of the moon
So if you ever lose your sense of wonder honey, it'll be too soon

Every day a new frontier, the backyard was a jungle green and wild
But it gets harder to remember what came as second nature to a child
You know the names of all the roads, the lawn needs to be mowed
There's work to pay the bills and make the rent
You might wake up one day and never wonder where your sense of wonder went

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Mysteries within mysteries, like an endless set of Russian nesting dolls
And if we could ever find it'd be a question at the centre of it all
Why something 'stead of nothing? Are we out here on our own?
Or does someone or something catch us when we fall?
Without a sense of wonder it begins to seem so tragic and so small

But it ain't all unicorns and rainbows, surely you've suspected this by now
Some days feel like a competition to find the biggest way to let each other down
I don't blame you if you're worried, sometimes I worry too
And don't believe it when I say it'll all work out
'Cause it don't seem to make no sense, and it's no wonder sometimes we all have our doubts

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

We are made of stardust, electrons dancing to a cosmic reel
Light is particle and wave, but even this cannot explain the way it feels
So give all you got to give, 'cause at best it's relative
Love is how we pull each other through
Hold onto your sense of wonder, keep yours for me, and I'll keep mine for you
Never lose your sense of wonder, babe keep yours for me, and I'll keep mine for you, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
