- Still Wilson
Open To The Wonder
This world can make you bitter
If you let it, but, don’t you let it
It doesn’t have to
Pain is going to test you
And struggle, it will test you
Fear and doubt will, too
No, not one thin dime can buy more time
Or a birdsong, or a sunrise
So before you go trading your soul for a handful of gold
You might consider this advice
There’s a current waiting to pull you under
Try to stay open to the wonder
Mighty money can fool you
But you can’t take it with you
Even if you chase it every day
Sorrow is not your mother
Trouble is not your father
And closing your heart ain’t the way
No, not one thin dime can buy more time
Or a birdsong, or a sunrise
So before you go trading your soul for a handful of gold
You might consider this advice
There’s a current waiting to pull you under
Try to stay open to the wonder
