about

I sent out to write a song called the world has lost its wonder after learning that the shuttle program was ending. I was pretty mad at humanity at that point. I racked my brain for at least an hour and didn't even have one good line written. At that point I started thinking maybe the world hasn't lost its wonder and I started writing the world is so full of wonder. literally 5 minutes later, this song was written. This song isn't necessarily about things i like but just things in life that are awesome in the truest since of the world. This song represents the true magic of writing music. Sometimes songs must be created and this song wanted to exist.

lyrics

“The World is so Full of Wonder”

Capo 3 I: g V: c g PC: d c7 C: g c7 d c7

A strummed guitar
A hybrid car
When dragons soar
A shiny star
A clever rhyme
Keeping time
Orange clouds
And living proud

These things all lead me to believe

That the world the world the world is so full of wonder
The world the world is so full of wonder
It’s up to me and you
To show the world that it’s true

A comic book
A snaky look
Birth of a kid
A tricked out rig
People fly
My momma cried
Going viral
Vampires sparkle

Chorus

A giant bug
A big bear hug
Autographs
Solos and vamps
How I can’t cook
How you look
All your love
I can’t get enough

Chorus
