I WONDER AS I WANDER
[Or, As Barbra Streisand Would Say,
'I Vonder As I Vander'!]
A Bit More Fun in the Form of a Song
(Written in 1998)




The few true human beings on this Earth

Have tried to figure things out

All of their lives

And then their wandering

Was born to search for and discover the Truth



The wondering and trying to figure things out

Came before the wandering

The egg came before the chicken

And then it hatched

Into wandering to wonder some more



There's so much to wonder about out there

But so few who even understand

The need to do so

And the compulsion to wander

To be reborn by discovering what's true



The wondering and trying to figure things out

Came before the wandering

The egg came before the chicken

And then it hatched

Into wandering to wonder some more



There's a deep compulsion to comprehend

Why things are the way they are

In those few souls

And to quest and explore

For truth as for gems that appear to be hidden



The wondering and trying to figure things out

Came before the wandering

The egg came before the chicken

And then it hatched

Into wandering to wonder some more



The world is full of wonder,

Not necessarily all wonderful things

But as a result of the former,

And the birth of genius,

There have to be wandering souls



(-Repeat the chorus if you so desire-)
