Story Behind The Song
The lyrics came to me as I sang, and told a story about how love can give someone confidence. The whole first verse came at once, and the other verses came soon after.
Song Description
A song about someone who has been without love their whole lives, are unable to dream happy dreams and can't imagine themselves with love and happiness. So when they meet someone who loves them, it makes them feel safe, and opens their world up to wonder, to imagining nice things for their future.

Lyrics
Wonder
I never wondered
What it was like to fly
High like a bird
You took me under
Your wings are made of sky
Like I deserve
A little piece of heaven
Right here on earth
I never wondered
Until I met you
I never questioned
What it was like to hide
All of the time
Waking to thunder
And cloud in my eyes
And all of the time
The sun was shining
Right here on earth
I never wondered
Until I met you
Before you came along
No one seemed to care
Now I'm not afraid
To dream a future fair
I never wondered
What it was like to love
All of the time
You took me into
Your arms are made of sighs
Now I believe
There's a little piece of heaven
Right here on earth
I never wondered
Until I met you
I never dreamed
Until I met you
