Wonder Seeker

Jonathan Segel

What I never learned in school
Always served me well
Though what these things may be
Are always hard to tell

I seek the wonder in the world

The minor riddles
Can keep me here
Watching the sky
Breathing the air

I seek the wonder in the world

The smallest insect
The tallest tree
The human actions
Of humanity

I seek the wonder in the world

All the good things
And all the bad
Are all the best things
I ever had

I seek the wonder in the world
I seek the wonder in the world
