Suddenly awake
Head is pounding hard now
Here comes another day
How she wishes she could sleep it all away
But then, you don't know
All the bills she has to pay
All the mouths she has to feed

We believe in a wonder
Everyone says
We believe in a wonder above
But when the smiles turn to sadness
And hope turns to dread
We pretend
But the wonder is gone

He takes another drink
And fumbles for the car keys
He never stopped to think
What life would be like when
there's no one to drive home to
There's nothing left to hope for
There's no one left to dream with
when your friends send you on your way

We believe in a wonder
Everyone says
We believe in a wonder above
But when the smiles turn to sadness
And hope turns to dread
We pretend
But the wonder is gone

Why do we pretend to believe in something that we cannot grasp?
What I need is to see the unseen
So give me a love that lasts
And I'll believe in a wonder

We believe in a wonder
Everyone says
We believe in a wonder above
But when the smiles turn to sadness
And hope turns to dread
We pretend
But the wonder is gone
